Gov. Andrew Cuomo is turning to a mix of business and labor union leaders, as well as college presidents and industry groups as part of a reopening committee for the state's economy. 

Cuomo released those names on Tuesday.

New York's economy has been vritually shut down during the pandemic for more than a month, with millions of people out of work and tax revenue virtually evaporating for the state's coffers. 

Labor leaders like 1199's George Gresham, the AFL-CIO's Mario Cilento and Gary LaBarbera of the Building and Trades Council of Greater New York were given spots -- all who have been consistent Cuomo allies in the labor movement. 

Cuomo's committee is a reflection of just how many industires have been affected by the shutdown. It includes Jim Dolan, the CEO of Madison Square Garden and the owner of the New York Knicks and New York Rangers. Yankees president Randy Levine is also on there as is Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres co-owner Kim Pegula, and Jeff Wilpon of the New York Mets. 

It also includes hospital executives like Ken Raske and Bea Grause and college officials like Merryl Tisch, the chairwoman of the SUNY Board of Trustees. 

There are also staunch Cuomo allies, including Bill Mulrow, his former top aide and campaign chairman. Real estate, too, is represented by Steven Rubenstein, the chairman of the Association for a Better New York, among others. 

A reopening won't be happening over night and all at once in New York. Cuomo again said he wanted a targeted reopening of key businesses as the definition of essential is expanded. 

New York's "pause" is currently in effect until May 15, but it's likely most areas of the state will continue in a similar shutdown mode through that date.

What does this mean for events like the New York State Fair? Cuomo today in Syracuse cast doubt on that happening, given the likelihood of people wanting to flock from different regions to that event. 

That likely will also put in doubt other upstate summer staples, including the thoroughbred racing meet at Saratoga Springs -- events upstate communities thrive on each year.
