Young: Budget Bill Says Upstate New York is Closed for Business

Albany is telegraphing a message to potential investors that Upstate New York is now closed for business. We’ve kept and added thousands of new jobs in my Senate district through the Empire Zones program. Now is not the time to use our employers as pawns to fill budget loopholes.

This budget plan is the worst fiscal disaster in our state’s history and does nothing to stimulate the economy or grow more jobs in upstate New York.

We need to invest and build upon the success of the Empire Zone program which has generated billions of dollars in new investment and created thousands of new jobs for our region. I urge the Governor and lawmakers to do the right thing and rectify this problem before it is too late and businesses close up shop for good.
