U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand today congratulated Yahoo! as the Internet giant breaks ground at its new location at the Lockport Industrial Park, which is expected to create 125 new jobs for Western New York.

"Even in the face of a difficult economy, the people of Western New York are attracting new businesses and creating new, good-paying jobs," Senator Gillibrand said. "Clearly Yahoo! recognized that the well-trained work force, affordable housing, short commutes, and first class arts, sports, and cultural institutions make this region and all of upstate New York an ideal place to invest in new business opportunities. I look forward to working with Yahoo as they move forward with this investment."
