Pending board approval Wednesday, SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Utica will begin transferring its College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering to the University at Albany, according to SUNY press officers.

The decision to transfer the college is in hopes "to strengthen the future of SUNY Poly Utica without CNSE," according to SUNY officials, with UAlbany developing a plan to effectuate CNSE's transfer by December 2023.

Albany County Executive Dan McCoy commented on the news in a tweet Wednesday, calling it an "important move" for the Capital Region.

[Clarifying previous tweet] Exciting news as we learn that @CNSE (of @SUNYPolyInst) will soon be re-consolidated under the roof of @ualbany. This is another important move as Albany County & Cap. Region continue to be nationwide leaders in nanoscale science & tech. advancement.

Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente responded to a previous McCoy tweet that has since been deleted, saying "it's a sad day when one region takes pleasure in another's loss."

This coming from a county that didn’t include semiconductors in its economic development plan. It’s a sad day when one region takes pleasure in another’s loss.
