‘Quad-C’ to Support Nanotechnology Economy As part of the $1.5 billion “Nano Utica” initiative that was recently announced by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to further build upon the state’s successful nanotechnology-based economy, construction continues on the Computer Chip Commercialization Center — informally known as Quad-C. Co-founded and managed by the SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) and State University of New York Institute of Technology (SUNYIT), Quad-C is located on the SUNYIT campus near Utica, N.Y., and is focused on device processing and packaging, IT, and supply chain support. QuadC also is poised to provide workforce training

Baltimore, Potomac Tunnel Investigation Enters New Phase Working to improve rail service, reliability and address a longstanding bottleneck along Amtrak’s busy Northeast Corridor (NEC), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) and Amtrak are advancing an engineering and environmental study to examine various improvements to the 141-yearold Baltimore and Potomac (B&P) Tunnel in Baltimore, Md. “We’re taking the first step toward upgrading rail traffic through this Civil War era tunnel, which will improve passenger rail service along the entire East Coast,” said Gov. Martin O’Malley. “Working together to enhance transit service and reliability will increase ridership and create a sustainable, more competitive future for Maryland.
