Local executive Kevin Law was approved by the state Senate on Friday to serve as board chairman of Empire State Development, the state’s primary business-aid agency.
The position is unpaid, and Law said he will continue to work at Tritec Real Estate Co. as a partner and executive vice president. He joined the East Setauket-based developer last year after leading the Long Island Association business group for 10½ years.
