The 2007 Economic Summit: Entrepreneurship and Growth in Upstate New York

Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand, Honorary Summit Chair, held an event in August in Saratoga to explore opportunities for growth in the high tech, energy independence and conservation technology sectors in this region due to our unique natural resources and history of manufacturing and agriculture.

Peter Wohl, vice president of EDC, was part of a breakout session entitled Encouraging Smart Growth. "At its core, smart growth is about ensuring that communities and regions accommodate growth in ways that are economically sound, environmentally sensible, and socially responsible," said Wohl.
