OSWEGO, N.Y. — Gov. Kathy Hochul has named SUNY Oswego President Peter Nwosu to the Central New York Regional Economic Development Council.
As a member of the Council, Nwosu will collaborate with a group of business leaders, community stakeholders, educators, and policymakers to shape the region’s economic future.
The appointment recognizes the “vital economic role” that Nwosu and SUNY Oswego play in Central New York. It also acknowledges Nwosu’s leadership, expertise, and commitment to economic growth in the region and beyond through Vision 4040. That is the university’s plan to expand opportunities for higher-educational attainment, increase upward mobility, and advance regional economic development, SUNY Oswego said.
“I am truly honored and humbled to join this distinguished Council, which has played a pivotal role in laying a strong foundation for the economic resurgence of Central New York — from major initiatives like Micron to various projects and partnerships, all aimed at supporting the greater good,” Nwosu said in a SUNY Oswego announcement. “I look forward to collaborating with the Council to help shape an even brighter future for our region.”
New York has 10 Regional Economic Development Councils (REDCs) that support the state’s approach to economic growth, which engages regional stakeholders to map out regional strategic plans.
Through the REDCs, community, business, academic leaders, and members of the public use their knowledge and understanding of local priorities and assets to help direct state investment in support of job creation and economic growth.
