On March 21, 2022, at the Blake Annex, Albany’s rapidly growing nonprofit hub, Senator Schumer announced that following his tirelessly advocacy, he has secured over $22 million for the Capital Region through the bipartisan omnibus spending package for Fiscal Year 2022 to support cutting-edge research and dozens of community-led projects. Schumer revealed three major, long-held community priorities that would benefit from the federal funding he has delivered. These projects, which will now finally be able to come to fruition thanks to the senator, include: expanding the facilities at the Blake Annex to be home to a regional nonprofit hub, new high-tech research facilities at the University of Albany and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), and the creation of the Port of Albany South End Workforce Training Center.
