New York State’s private-sector jobs are at their highest point in history, cities across Upstate New York are rebounding after languishing for decades, and we are restoring the promise that the next generation will be better o! than the last. The Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) plays a crucial role in this progress. It is a valuable bridge between the State and New York’s edu- cation and health care institutions as it finances and builds the infrastructure that broadens opportunity, bolsters our middle class, and expands access to services that keep New Yorkers healthy. DASNY has proven its ability to help New York State’s communities thrive. As the nation’s leader in the municipal bond market and one of its most prominent public builders, DASNY sets the tone for sustainable, resilient construction and the participation of minority- and women-owned business enterprises. New Yorkers deserve an organization like DASNY with its focus on perform- ance and integrity. I thank the DASNY Board, its Chair, Alfonso L. Carney, Jr. and its President and CEO, Gerrard P. Bushell, for continuously answering the call of public service with dedication. I commend DASNY’s executive team and its entire sta! for their leadership and commitment to the people of New York. Sincerely, Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor State of New York D o r m i t o r y A u t h o r i t y S t a t e o f N e w Y o r k 1 The Honorable Andrew M.

One valuable impact is our broadening use of a The Honorable Liz Krueger hybrid financing structure that combines tax-exempt and taxable bonds. The Ranking Minority Member hybrid structure helps meet the needs of higher education and health care Senate Finance Committee sectors as not-for-profit institutions focus more of their strategic planning on their core missions and expanded partnerships.

The structure is helping maximize the economic benefits to New York State from NYU’s investment. It enables NYU to include private uses in its capital projects, which the Univer- sity is doing at its new technology and digital arts center at 370 Jay Street in 2 A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 1 7 Brooklyn that graces the cover of the report.
