The Central New York Community Engagement Committee Unveils Its Investment Strategy

The Central New York Community Engagement Committee (CEC) presented the first draft of its Community Priorities Document (CPD) in late June. The CPD, developed by the 16-person committee, represents more than 13 months of community-driven engagement across over 300 community organizations and contains input from more than 12,700 Central New Yorkers. It will serve as a guide to the $500 million Green CHIPS Community Investment Fund, a requirement of the historic agreement made in 2022 between Micron and New York State.

The release of the document marks an exciting new chapter for the community and comes at a critical juncture for Central New York. Micron's planned $100 billion investment has the potential to fundamentally change the economic trajectory of Central New York, and the CPD will help secure ground-up community participation in the coming changes. 

CenterState CEO is proud to have helped in the creation of this document through staff support, strategic communications assistance, market analysis, public engagement assistance, project management and research.
