Ed led the charge to secure a $10 million DRI award from Empire State Development (ESD) in 2016 and helped shape the plan to transform South Street into a vibrant cultural and commercial corridor.
EDC President Jim Siplon, who served on the original DRI Steering Committee, was on hand today to honor that legacy.![]()
