New York Launches Statewide Economic Development Website – New York First

Governor David A. Paterson today was joined by Empire State Development (ESD) Chairman Dennis M. Mullen and statewide business partners in announcing the launch of New York First, an innovative business-focused website geared toward companies expanding in or choosing to locate in New York State.
