SUNY Morrisville on list of winners for $60 million in grant funding
MORRISVILLE – Morrisville State College is among 19 New York State Universities that will receive grant funding through the second round of the NYSUNY 2020 Challenge Grant Program.
SUNY Morrisville, in collaboration with SUNY Cobleskill and SUNY Delhi, will receive a total of $15 million to support their NYS Bioenergy Learning Collaborative Project (NYSBLC). The project calls for the development of three commercial-scale, one megawatt anaerobic biodigesters, one located at each campus. Biodigesters carry the capacity to convert animal waste, including cow, horse and other livestock manure, into energy, thereby helping farms better handle utility expenses and waste management.
While the NYSBLC project prompts an enormous educational impact, it can also have a huge effect on several Chenango County-based industries, said state legislators.
“These grants will help companies like Raymond Corp. and Chobani train new workers, create energy, reduce waste and continue to grow,” said State Senator Tom Libous in a written statement released last week. “Supporting local business means they will support us.”
According to a media release from the office of Governor Andrew Cuomo, the project is backed by partnerships with greek yogurt manufacturers Chobani and Fage, as well as food processor Beech-Nut, and fast food chains Burger King and McDonald’s. Other partnerships include Drainmasters, Price Chopper, Kraft Foods, Morning Star Dairy/Ultra Dairy, Freisland-Campania, Martin Growers, and regional dairy farms, feedlots, and vegetable and fruit growers.
Said Cuomo, “The NYSUNY 2020 initiative ties our world-class SUNY system with the state’s economic development goals to both create good jobs for New Yorkers and enhance our higher education curriculum and training and research programs.”
The NYSBLC proposal calls for creation of 200 construction jobs and 30 engineering and project management support jobs at all three collaborating SUNY locations. Moreover, it will help maintain an estimated 75 jobs in local dairy production, food processing, and yogurt manufacturing.
A total $60 million was disbursed through the second round of NYSUNY 2020 Challenge Grant Program. Three additional projects from collaborations of 16 other SUNY schools will also receive $15 million each for their winning proposals.
