Remember in 2011 when we all had fun trying to guess the coded meaning of "Project Wave?"

Now we get to do it again.  What is "Project Vulcan?"

Draft strategic plan for regional economic development unveiled at GCC https://www.thebatavian.com/howard-owens/draft-strategic-plan-regional-economic-development-unveiled-gcc/28852

Part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's plan to spur economic growth is the creation of regional economic development agenies.

Each region will receive some portion of a $1 billion pie of grants, with most of them being divvied up equally, but the four regions that submit the "best" strategic plan will receive an extra $40 million each.

The money is earmarked for projects that promise job growth.

On Tuesday, the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Develpment Council presented its draft strategic plan at a public meeting, attended by 20 or 30 people, at Genesee Community College.

The purpose of the meeting was to gather feedback on the plan, with a series of booths set up around the forum for people to leave their thoughts on different aspects of the plan.

You can read the draft plan by clicking here (pdf).
