"Another jolt of federal funding is on the way to further power Binghamton's booming manufacturing, innovation and workforce development hub. I am proud to deliver this $1.5 million federal investment from ARC, matched with the major $63+ million in funding I secured for Binghamton through the Build Back Better Regional Challenge, to spark more growth for the New Energy New York project. This funding will power the next generation of workers to get the skills they need to enter the battery industry, and connect innovative startups and cutting-edge supply chain companies with the resources they need to help make their home in the Southern Tier. Binghamton University is leading the charge to bring the battery industry back to America, and this funding will help to strengthen those critical efforts. I will continue to fight to keep this economic engine for BU juiced up to reach its full potential."
