Post by Statewide Public Affairs

Budget season is always a team effort, and Statewide Public Affairs is proud of what our firm was able to help deliver for clients and communities across New York this year. Among the highlights secured in the FY27 State Budget: ✅ $60 million for Quantum Computing Commercialization Hubs, building on more than $1 billion in recent federal investment and helping position New York as a global leader in the next generation of technology and innovation. ✅ $5 million for ArtsWestchester to complete the restoration of its historic landmark headquarters in downtown White Plains and make the building fully accessible, ensuring it can continue serving as a cultural anchor for the region for generations to come. ✅ $894,000 for the Children's Institute Primary Mental Health Project, expanding critical early intervention mental health services for children. ✅ $800,000 for MCNY (Metropolitan College of New York) to help individuals and families move out of poverty through access to higher education and career advancement opportunities. ✅ $50,000 in first time funding for Girls Inc. of the Greater Capital Region to support their mission of inspiring girls to be Strong, Smart, and Bold through life-changing programming and mentorship. Advocacy is most rewarding when it translates into real investments that strengthen communities, expand opportunity, and improve lives. Grateful to work alongside incredible clients, legislative champions, and colleagues who helped make these outcomes possible.
