Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a major milestone for American manufacturing for New York's southern tier.

Alstom, a global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, has opened its new, cutting-edge plant 4 facility in Hornell, New York.

This 135,000-square-foot expansion brings stainless steel railcar body production back to the United States, strengthening our domestic supply chain, and reaffirming Hornell's position as the Nation's premier center for passenger train manufacturing.

Plant 4 isn't just a facility. It is a symbol of what investment in American industry looks like. It will retain 390 good-paying jobs locally and create 258 new ones for families across my district.

These are high-quality, high-tech jobs that provide economic stability and opportunity for the hardworking people of the southern tier.

Production will soon begin on 200 multilevel commuter railcars for Chicago's Metra system, proof that what is built in Hornell rolls across the Nation.

This project is a powerful example of how we strengthen our economy by investing in our communities, empowering our workforce, and leading the way in advanced manufacturing.

I commend Alstom for their continued commitment to Hornell and thank the skilled men and women who are driving this legacy forward.
