Press Release

"This week, we showed the country that American batteries can and should be manufactured in Binghamton, not Beijing. I am proud to bring representatives of Binghamton University and its partners to the Capitol to show philanthropic and private investors how New Energy New York in Binghamton and other key tech companies in Upstate NY are leading the charge in bringing battery innovation back to America. For years I worked to craft and lead to passage an array of new programs to spur economic development, bring manufacturing back to America, create good-paying jobs, and spark scientific innovation, specifically with places like Binghamton and Upstate NY in mind, and with hundreds of millions in federal funding that I have secured, that vision is becoming a reality. Together, we are strengthening the battery supply chain while creating jobs and attracting new companies to the region. I’m looking forward to making more progress as we continue to establish Binghamton as a hub for battery research and manufacturing."
