Lourdes Zapata, Executive Vice President, Division of Minority & Women’s Business Development at Empire State Development, spoke at yesterday’s MWBE Expo of Central New York. The event was held at the South Side Innovation Center.
New York is slated for plenty of redevelopment, including airports, transportation hubs, tourism/welcome centers, as well as clean energy initiatives, in nearly every part of the state. All these projects are scheduled to be assessed for minority and women business (MWB) goal settings.
Zapata told a room full of either certified or aspiring minority and women business firms to pay attention to these types of projects because “these are where the opportunities are coming in the future.”

OCC forward Morgan Deland had 12 points and 9 boards
The SUNY OCC Lady Lazers continue to impress. They feature a stifling 3/4 court press and quickly move the ball with a UCLA/flex -type offense. The stat from last night’s game that stood out, however was that the three players pictured out scored the entire SUNY Broome Community College squad 42-38.
The final score was OCC 81 and Broome 38.
The team is now 21-3 overall, and undefeated in conference play. Their next game is against Jefferson Community College.
OCC forward Sam Britton had 16
OCC guard Jordan Vaught neted 14 (and also had 8 assists)
