Counsel to State University on Multibillion-Dollar Campus Expansion 

A team of Hodgson Russ lawyers represented a State University of New York university center on a major legislative initiative that ultimately became the basis for the NYSUNY 2020 legislation enacted into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo. This engagement included development of comprehensive public-private partnership legislation to facilitate a multibillion-dollar expansion of the university center’s campuses. In addition, we also served as State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) counsel to the university center for the three campus capital project related to this legislative initiative.
