The head of the Empire State Development Corporation and the Department of Economic Development is stepping down.
Marisa Lago was appointed eight months ago and issued a statement saying she wants to pursue positions outside of state government.
The corporation provides state financing for projects like Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn which underwent a major redesign this week, with the replacement of architect Frank Gehry.
The Empire State Development Corporation's Upstate President, Dennis Mullen, will replace Lago.
