Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLaura has been a tremendous advocate for economic development across the Finger Lakes region as a result of career experience,\u201d said Steve Hyde, president, and CEO of the GCEDC. \u201cWe look forward to hearing from her particularly as it pertains to Governor Hochul\u2019s efforts to bring more resources to develop sites across upstate, including STAMP to bring semi-conductor and other related businesses to our region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to joining Empire State Development, Fox O\u2019Sullivan served as the President of the Finger Lakes region’s first food business incubator \u2013 The Commissary \u2013 and as Vice President of the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNew York State is incredibly proud of our continued partnership with Genesee County. The efforts of the GCEDC and its forward-thinking economic development efforts are truly paying off, benefiting local stakeholders and the entire Finger Lakes Region. This collaboration has resulted in drawing world renowned companies like Edwards and Plug Power to STAMP, and to supporting the targeted growth of the area\u2019s agribusiness industry, a key focus throughout the region. These combined efforts are fueling economic prosperity for the business community and for the families that have chosen to put down roots here, creating exciting opportunities now and for generations to come,\u201d said Fox O\u2019Sullivan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
