Established in 2011 as a centerpiece of the state\u2019s strategy to jump start the economy and create jobs, the Regional Councils replaced the state\u2019s old top-down approach to economic development with one that is community-based and performance-driven. The initiative empowers communities, business and academic leaders, as well as members of the public in each region of the state, to develop strategic plans specifically tailored to their region\u2019s unique strengths and resources to create jobs, improve quality of life and grow the economy. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOver the last eight years, we have implemented a vision to move New York state\u2019s economy forward by allowing communities to make strategic investments to help grow their local economies and reenergize and develop their unique regions,\u201d Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. \u201cRegional-based economic development is vital for maintaining New York\u2019s thriving, prosperous economy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBy empowering the people who know their communities best, we have transformed the state\u2019s economic development strategy into one that is not only successful, but is built to last,\u201d said L. Gov. Kathy Hochul, Chair of the Regional Economic Development Councils, who made today\u2019s announcement. \u201cThrough the REDC process, we\u2019re advancing the strategic economic development plans of each region and supporting growth as part of the Downtown and Upstate Revitalization Initiatives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Officials said the REDC process has transformed New York state government\u2019s approach to economic development, creating a statewide framework for bottom-up, regional economic growth and streamlining the state funding application process. Since the initiative\u2019s inception in 2011, over $6.1 billion has been awarded to more than 7,300 projects that are projected to create and retain more than 230,000 jobs statewide.<\/span><\/p>\n
