Per Sportsnet.ca, the state of New York will be working directly with the professional sports teams involved so that they can begin training camps "as soon as possible". Governor Cuomo said in his press conference:

We want you up, we want people to be able to watch sports, to the extent people are still staying home. It gives people something to do. It’s a return to normalcy.

While it is uncertain exactly which NYS teams will begin training and when, they will all have to adhere to strict health and safety protocols. This is still a huge step towards actually seeing Buffalo Bills football and hopefully professional baseball in WNY at some point this summer.
