Cuomo calls for tax-free zones around college campuses

May 23, 2013 6:52 am
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has called for the creation of tax-free zones around school campuses statewide as part of plan to attract potential start-up businesses to upstate New York. The initiative, called "Tax-Free-NY," will allow new businesses the opportunity to operate completely tax-free on a SUNY campus for a decade. The plan was unveiled by Cuomo, Wed., May 22. Under the proposal, all SUNY campuses outside of New York City, and all private colleges located north of Westchester County would be eligible as sites. Cuomo said the initiative will "supercharge" his administration's efforts to support the upstate economy, making the region "a magnet" for new business and new jobs. There are 64 SUNY campuses located throughout the state. Columbia-Greene Community College is part of the State University of New York system.
