Officials Unveil New $13M Skydome

ROME — “The sky is no longer the limit in the Mohawk Valley and it’s high time everyone knew it.”

Those were the words of Griffiss Institute President and CEO Heather Hage before a special “unmanned” ribbon cutting of the new $13 million Skydome — the nation’s largest indoor Unmanned Aircraft Systems testing center not only in New York or in the nation, but in the world — located at Griffiss Park.

Skydome brings a total state and county investment of more than $100 million, establishing New York and the Mohawk Valley in the position of global leader in UAS. . .
