Letter to the Hon. Harold Parker, Co-Chair of the Northern Border Regional Commission - On the heels of his successful push to include game-changing semiconductor amendment in defense bill, Schumer announces plan to jolt U.S. semiconductor industry & WNY economy into high gear, bring critical federal investment to Genesee's stamp campus, & create thousands of new jobs

Letter

Date: July 31, 2020

Dear NBRC Federal Co-Chair Mr. Parker,

I write in strong support of the Northern Border Regional Commission (NRBC) Economic & Infrastructure Development Investment Program grant application submitted by the Genesee Gateway Local Development Corporation (GGLDC) to finally enable the STAMP (Science, Technology, Advanced Manufacturing Park) greenfield mega site to achieve "shovel-ready' status required to attract new manufacturing facilities and jobs to STAMP.

Specifically, this funding is needed to complete STAMP's sewer and wastewater system by constructing a 14,500 sq ft force main sewer line. The force main is the final piece needed to make STAMP shovel-ready with the capabilities to meet any industry's needs to construct new manufacturing operations at STAMP and create new high quality jobs. This project aligns with the NBRC's Strategic plan goal of supporting new infrastructure investments to create new business development since the construction of this 14,500 sq ft force main is the final piece required to complete STAMP's sewer and wastewater system and thus the final piece needed to make it shovel-ready.

STAMP is a 1250 acre Mega site divided into an 850 acre north campus that can accommodate clean tech advanced manufacturers including up to three semiconductor chip fabs and a 400 acre south campus ideal to attract new food, beverage, and warehouse/distribution development. Completion of the new sewer line will benefit both campuses, and in particular, allow GGLDC to begin to market the south campus to new prospective tenants.

Again, I strongly support the GGLDC's NRBC Grant application and appreciate your consideration of the positive impact this project would have on the local community.
