The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo
Governor of New York State
NYS State Capitol Building
Albany, NY 12224
Dear Governor Cuomo:
It is with great pleasure that I support the proposed expansion of Cradle to Career partnership as part of
the Capital Region’s Upstate Revitalization Initiative (URI) submission. The opportunity to expand this
high-impact, collaborative approach in education will assist in the creation of a high-quality workforce –
an outcome that will positively impact our region and the thousands of students who attend Troy City
Schools.
As superintendent, I know the significant challenges that students in urban, high-poverty areas face, but
we cannot let these factors be predictors of their success. Additionally, it is the responsibility of the
whole community, not just schools, to ensure the success of every child—in fact, we know we cannot do
this alone, and must partner closely with parents and families, business and industry, the non-profit
sector, and the civic sector. A scale up of The Albany Promise, a successful Cradle to Career partnership
in the Capital Region, would be transformative to the region, and to our students. If the Capital Region
receives URI funding, I am excited to explore opportunities to grow this type of partnership in our city.
Our District’s tremendously talented and dedicated faculty, staff, and leadership are doing phenomenal
work every day, but they need the support of our community and our institutions. Having a collective
vision for the cradle to career education of our students would benefit our community and push us to
new heights.
I firmly believe in the positive economic impact the URI, as well as the expansion of Cradle to Career
support, will have for the Capital Region community at large. The next generation of leaders depends on
us to get this right.
Sincerely,
CAPITAL
20.20

RE: Creative Economy Advocates, in support of Creative Accelerator
Dear Governor Cuomo:
It is with great pleasure that the Creative Economy Advocates support the proposed Creative
Economy Accelerator as part of the Capital Region URI application. We represent broad
creative clusters – media, performing arts, architecture, preservation, fine arts, design,
creative placemaking and technology, among others. We also comprise representatives from
each of the eight counties of the Capital Region, including underserved communities that
often do not participate in economic development processes.
As Advocates, we travelled across the region, synthesizing initiative ideas from creative
professionals of all types. In each community, we developed place-specific methods for
outreach. We spoke to museum curators and design freelancers, film producers, painters,
architects, makers, product developers, video game designers and themed entertainment
engineers, a broad cross-section of the 30,000 workers comprising this economic cluster. We
sought to uncover who and what we didn’t know about. We found a sector on the verge of a
paradigm shift, organically forming regional, collaborative partnerships. A sector ready for
the next step.
Across all our interviews, the idea of an “accelerator” emerged as the transformational tool to
connect existing creative talent to job opportunities, and connect other businesses to creative
sector workers and entrepreneurs. Not only will creative professionals benefit directly from
this initiative, but supporting these individuals will also directly contribute to the regional
economy and increase the region’s value proposition to visitors, potential residents, existing
businesses and emerging ones.
If the Capital Region receives URI funding, we are committed to playing a key role in both
the implementation of the Creative Economy Accelerator and in the public support of the
broader strategic plan.
Sincerely,
Capital Region Creative Economy Advocates:

Albany, NY 12207
Dear Governor Cuomo,
It is with great pleasure that I support the proposed “Soft-Warehouse District” development in Albany as
part of the Capital Region’s Upstate Revitalization Initiative (URI) submission.
Aeon Nexus Corporation, as an information technology provider, has made a home in the Capital Region
by opening an office on historic State Street. We are excited about all of the development that is taking
place in our region. The injection of new talent, business and opportunity in the “Warehouse District”
will help strengthen Albany’s reputation as a technology leader. If our region receives URI funding, Aeon
Nexus would be excited to committing an additional 20 new careers to the redevelopment
Aeon Nexus Corporation currently operates both at 138 State Street in Albany, as well as 174 Glen Street
in Glens Falls, NY. We currently employ 30 Capital Region residents with 15 current open roles to fill. We
are proud to be a contributor to the Capital Region’s and New York State’s dynamic economy.
Projects like the “Soft-Warehouse District” will help revitalize not only an area of Albany that has great
potential, but the lives of citizens, employees and business of the Capital region.
Sincerely,
Meghan A. Barkley
Operations Director
