Upstate Strategic Advisors President Sam Hoyt honored with the 2022 George K Arthur Award for Preservation Leadership
As a former New York State Assemblymember and Regional President of Empire State Development Corporation and current President of Upstate Strategic Advisors, Sam Hoyt led the effort to implement and improve the New York State Historic Preservation Tax Credit.
The passage of the historic tax credit bill, led by Mr. Hoyt and former State Senator David Valesky of Oneida, has resulted in one of the most successful economic development programs in New York State history. The tax credit has spurred $12 billion in investment to revitalized more than 1,000 historic properties since 2011, including well over a billion dollars of private investment in Western New York.
