Centerstate CEO

CenterState CEO's annual Economic Forecast reveals many businesses are expecting to increase revenue and hiring this year.

A little over a decade ago, Syracuse was struggling to attract and support start-ups. Now programs like GENIUS NY are bringing in millions in follow-up funding, creating jobs, and attracting talent from all over the world.

Five up-and-coming drone technology companies are competing in the Genius NY competition for the chance to win millions and advance their startup.

Micron is investing hundreds of millions into a community development fund for the region. Meanwhile, Syracuse officials are considering a new shuttle for employees.

Half of the $500 million dollar community development fund will come from Micron. The other $250 million will be matched by federal, state, and local partners.

Micron’s $100 billion plans to open up shop in Clay is the largest private investment in state history, promising thousands of new jobs for the area. But the current workforce will need training and support in order for the area to meet this opportunity fully and equitably.

The citywide Syracuse surge program helped to match people with real local jobs.

Central New York’s economy appears poised to grow in the coming year. That’s based on data reviewed by M & T Bank Vice President Peter Kneis who delivered the keynote address at Centerstate CEO’s annual economic forecast Wednesday.

Syracuse Surge is now offering job training program under Surge Advanced Manufacturing and Electrical Mechanical Tech for Syracuse residents.

There are new opportunities available for Syracuse residents looking to advance their careers in the technical and manufacturing fields. The city and its educational and business partners have opened up two workforce training programs with the goal of filling jobs right away.
