In a LinkedIn posting on Friday, CenterState CEO President & CEO Rob Simpson stated, "Thanks Dave Allen for all that you do to spread the good word in CNY. Shows like yours help us push out the tidal wave of good news and progress sweeping across the Central New York region and push back against the tired trope of a community that somehow needs to cling on to the vestiges of its past. No thank you. The future is bright because people now know that we can, we are and we will do what many thought was impossible — complete the CNY combeback story and raise the bar going forward."
