It will be a
few months until ride - hailing officially arrives
upstate, but Uber is already making its presence known in Western New York, projecting the creation of up to 700
jobs in Buffalo alone.
Only one company in the Capital Region enrolled in Cuomo's highly publicized
upstate economic revitalization program created double - digit
jobs in 2015, while the other eight created five
jobs or
fewer, according to newly released state data.
