SUNY Upstate to expand

By Jasmyn Belcher

Oswego, New York – SUNY's Upstate Medical University is planning a major expansion.

Upstate officials are proposing a $510 million dollar project that would expand the academic medical center by increasing research facilities, academic space and student housing.

WRVO's Jasmyn Belcher spoke with Upstate's President, Dr. David Smith.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.
