The
Lake Ontario Research Center at Oswego (LORCO) will be a
multi-disciplinary, consortium-based project involving several institutions.
The primary focus of the LORCO will be to provide advanced analytical
and remote sensing capabilities to the researchers of the 16 Great
Lakes Research Consortium (GLRC) member institutions as well as strengthen
outreach activities in environmental and energy education. The LORCO
will be dedicated to research, education, and economic/workforce development.

The LORCO also builds on a public-private partnership
between SUNY Oswego, Operation Oswego County/County of Oswego Industrial
Development Agency, General Electric, UPC Wind Management, LLC,
and the Port of Oswego.
The Lake Ontario Research Center at Oswego will also
- Engage
in energy related research and education in areas that pertain
to the
Great Lakes.
- Expand
the Energy Education Institute.
- Create
an incubator environment for companies involved in the renewable
energy industry for the Great Lakes, especially wind energy and
hydrogen fuel technology. Lessons learned through these technologies
will provide important templates for technology transfer to sites
throughout the Great Lakes and generate manufacturing business
opportunities.
