The head of the Empire State Development Council came to Long Island Tuesday declaring the region was "well-positioned for technology-driven economic development," and highlighting state programs to boost the creation of technology start-ups.
"We've got a lot going for us, once we level the tax playing field," Kenneth Adams, chief executive of the Empire State Development Council, said at a meeting of the Long Island Regional Planning Council at Molloy College's satellite site in Farmingdale. "We need to do more to attract and re-attract the investment capital back to the state."
