Meeting The Needs Of Today With A Vision For The Future
Come to Central New York
Business Resources
Central New York brims with resources for businesses of all sizes.
There are, of course, local Chambers of Commerce, Small Business Administration offices and programs, and various development agencies/organizations. A number of less common resources for a community of our size are also available, including high tech incubators and manufacturing pilot plants.
A great deal of effort and soul-searching over the past several years has also gone into the development of a blueprint for our economic future, The Essential New York Initiative. This living document identifies those areas where the commitment of our resources are most likely to bear fruit - so to speak.
However, the most valuable business resources here in Central New York are a deeply ingrained "can do"
attitude, a willingness to take great risks, a well-educated and highly skilled workforce and
possibly most importantly, more than 10,000 new graduates of our local
vocational programs, colleges and universities every year that have literally bet their future on the educational
and life experience opportunities that Central New York has to offer!
The combination of these ingredients has resulted in the creation of scores of both large and small "home-grown" businesses - just a very few of which are listed below.
This same combination of ingredients has the potential to lead to unimaginable opportunities based upon our historical strength as a regional hub of transportation and our extraordinary educational, medical, cultural, and environmental resources far into the future!
