Dear Incubator Companies:

As you are probably aware, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Friday March 20 that all non-essential businesses must close and 100% of all non-essential members of the workforce must stay home beginning Sunday afternoon.  An Executive Order provides more specific information. To hear the Governor's announcement regarding this order, please click here.

We ask that you keep us informed regarding decisions you make regarding your operations in our SBU facilities.

For you information, we are ramping down non-essential academic research across campus, including the AEC and CEWIT.

Please continue to check updates at https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/home and https://www.cdc.gov/media/dpk/diseases-and-conditions/coronavirus/coronavirus-2020.html. We will continue to send you updates as we receive them. 

As always, you can contact us with any questions you may have.

Thank you and be safe.
