Kaloyeros met with officials from the State University of New York (SUNY) Upstate Medical University and toured the Central New York Biotech Accelerator and the site of the upcoming Loguen’s Crossing complex.
During the tour, Kaloyeros joined Dr. David Smith, president of Upstate Medical University, in observing the ongoing work in one of the labs inside the Biotech Accelerator.
The visit came at the direction of Gov. Andrew Cuomo to explore collaborations with Upstate Medical University on attracting new corporations to Syracuse. SUNY campuses are encouraged to use Start-Up New York to advance public-private partnerships to spark economic development.
Such partnerships include Upstate working with COR Development Co., LLC of Fayetteville on the Loguen’s Crossing project.
The project is intended to redevelop the 10 acres of property adjacent to the Biotech Accelerator that were previously home to the Kennedy Square housing project, according to Upstate.
