Sandy RAVAGES Tri-state area, but cant hold up progress on Cancer Proton Center

Empire State EB5 Regional Center was down in New York City last week and the drive through the city was disastrous. With down power lines, roads washed out, and lack of gasoline still could not stall the progress on a Proton Cancer Treatment Center project. Empire State EB5 along with state and county officials met to finalize the details on the $83 million dollar facility which is slated to begin in early 2013. With this new state of the art, innovative technology it will be one of eleven facilities implemented in the United States. The treatment center will benefit many individuals, with its main focus on children and underserved communities.

The avenue that many schools are looking into is foreign investment: USCIS EB-5 Immigration Investor program. The EB-5 program participants can get a temporary visa by investing $500,000 to $1 million in a federally approved business. If the business creates or preserves at least 10 jobs in two years, the investor and his immediate family are eligible for permanent residency in the United States. More and more foreign investors are investing into charter schools in New York, Florida, Arizona, and others states.
