U.S Senator Charles E. Schumer announced that the Senate is set to approve $21.5 million in funding for military projects in the Albany region. The funding includes $5 million from the Arsenal Support Program Initiative (ASPI) which will enable the Arsenal Business and Technology Partnership to rehabilitate and develop unused space at the Watervliet Arsenal so that additional private companies and jobs can be brought to the site. In addition, $1.2 million has been secured to fund collaborative nanotechnology research between the University at Albany's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, Benet Labratories and private companies already located at the Arsenal.
