COHOES, N.Y. (NEWS10) — This is a time where, unfortunately, we’ve seen far too many businesses shutting down and redevelopment grants become slim. For Cohoes, investors say they had great momentum for the city before the pandemic, saying they’re not going to let it stop them.

Mipcom is the biggest international TV get-together of the year, but the 2020 event was a different beast due to COVID-19. While there were hopes the Cannes affair could take place in person this October, organizer Reed Midem revealed in September that the market would go virtual — and judging by the fast-rising COVID-19 count in France and toughening restrictions, that was probably a wise idea.
