I am on X (Twitter) to post about Economic Development Associates of NY in upstate NY.

This post is about the foundation of my long career in economic and community development and what I learned. Even as a child, I wanted to be an earner! My job at the Roma Baking Company helped me do that and more!

@TomKucharski’s retirement ends a quarter century of promoting Buffalo Niagara. He made an enormous contribution and deserves a great deal of credit for the improvement in the economy and quality of life. Congratulations TK! https://t.co/PJkP6Qc2wj via @TheBuffaloNews

@LibertyNut1 How about being a good person and not a serial liar like Trump!

Okay! It’s been a couple days, but I have come to the conclusion that the new @googlehealth app is terrible! I will be shopping for a different fitness wearable! @FitbitSupport

@Suzierizzo1 I call him evil!👿

One of my favorite writers is @seankirst! This column about Kevin Kane’s devotion to his brother Coley is what Memorial Day is all about!

[sean kirst @seankirst]

Forty-two years after he designed the Korea-Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Syracuse, Kevin Kane - whose brother Coley died in Vietnam - returned with friends to wash it by hand. My column, with beautiful Mike Greenlar images: https://t.co/Zw75JiA5K5

@amyklobuchar I can’t believe the lame comments from the MAGA people. Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here!

@FitbitSupport Why do I have two Fitbit Premium subscriptions? Please explain. Thank you!

[Joseph Russo @NGridEconDev]

And, @nationalgridus made substantial investments in economic development funding and efforts to make the site ready and promote its advantages to the corporate real estate and site selection decision makers. Thank you, @nationalgrid!

[National Grid US @nationalgridus]

Congratulations to @MicronTech on breaking ground on its historic semiconductor campus in #CNY. Their historic multibillion dollar investment will bring thousands of jobs to the region.

Our role? We're delivering the infrastructure upgrades needed for this transformation, including expanding the Clay substation and building underground transmission lines to ensure Micron has the reliable energy required for advanced chip manufacturing.

This project isn’t just about chips. It’s about shaping the future of technology, strengthening U.S. supply chains, and driving innovation.

Love this! 💙

@SUvadala knows BS when he sees it, Tepper!

[Mike Vadala @SUvadala]

@MarkTepperSWP Yeah well if certain costs like health care triple, nobody is tripling your pay, your fixed income vehicles, etc. so that’s BS.

[Joseph Russo @NGridEconDev]

Very good scorecard, @NYPAenergy!

[NY Power Authority @NYPAenergy]

Through #ReChargeNY and other programs, new #econdev awards will continue to drive significant private investment across NY.

To date, NYPA programs have helped strengthen communities, grow local economies + support workplaces across NYS.

The grid is being rewritten by the pulse of #AI.

At #VERGE2025, our own Aaron Panzer led a conversation on how data centers soaring in size from 20 MW to 2 GW are forcing us to rethink reliability.

So obviously JJ Starling and Donnie Freeman are not supposed to be on the court together…
