New Yorker here, there's a lot of things any faction might want in the Upstate region. Not the least of which is a Lockheed Martin Research facility in Syracuse, the Remington Arms Factory in Ilion and several truly massive salt mines. Along with these we also have Griffis Air Force base(now defunct) as well as Fort Drum, and I know of at least one national guard armory in Utica.
Agriculture wise The Finger Lakes has some od the best Vineyards in the East Coast. And, the Western portion of the state was known for its fine wheat fields. While further North the Adirondacks can provide tons of lumber.
