SCHUMER LAUNCHES MAJOR PUSH TO SUPERCHARGE BUFFALO BATTERY COMPANY, VIRIDI PARENTE, TO ADD HUNDREDS OF GOOD PAYING JOBS WITH NEW $200+ MILLION DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY LOAN TO ACCELERATE THEIR GROWTH AND USHER IN A NEW AGE OF MANUFACTURING FOR BUFFALO'S EAST SIDE

Press Release

"The Inflation Reduction Act is the jolt of electricity Buffalo and companies like Viridi Parente have needed to supercharge their plans to breathe new life into the manufacturing legacy of Buffalo's East Side. Right now China dominates the battery industry, but with the federal investment I secured last Congress, companies like Viridi Parente can lead the charge to make WNY and Upstate NY a major hub of America's new clean-energy "Battery Belt.' That is why I am launching a major new push to spark the next phase of growth in Buffalo by helping Viridi Parente tap a major Department of Energy investment that will accelerate plans to add hundreds of new good paying jobs for a community that has been historically underserved."
