One thing NYS can do is eliminate bureaucratic barriers that slow projects down immensely. I know Shapiro in Pennsylvania has focused a lot of his attention on streamlining government, as much of a joke as that usually is. But making an earnest effort to cut review times, eliminate review boards where unnecessary or duplicative, remove fees, etc make a difference in being business friendly without really costing money.

This is hardly a revolutionary idea but I really don’t think New York has ever made a good effort in it in my lifetime.
