It's Governor's Day at the New York State Fair, so Governor Andrew Cuomo stopped by the fairgrounds to pay a visit and make some announcements.

One of the biggest announcements made by Cuomo was the GreenFair initiative. The fair plans to become energy self-sufficient by 2023.

Fair officials will look to install solar panels and wind turbines, eventually going off the grid. The hope is to become the greenest fair in the United States.

They will also build an environmental stewardship pavilion near the Expo Center.

Visitors will be able to learn more about reducing their carbon footprint and state initiatives.

Gate 10 will also undergo a $1.5 million renovation to become another main entrance. The main gate project is expected to be finished by next year's fair.
