“Thank you to Governor Hochul, NYSERDA President Harris, President Biden, Majority Leader Schumer, Congressman Tonko and all of the partners in government and the private sector that made today’s offshore wind announcement possible. I am thrilled that the growth of our domestic offshore wind manufacturing industry will be centered right here in the Capital Region, and I’ve made it a central component of our strategic economic development plan. This announcement represents nearly $1 billion in green manufacturing investment and over 1,700 direct and indirect jobs backed by prevailing wage and project labor agreements.”
