Steuben County IDA

Business/industry working with research/education in our backyard to solve real-world problems... this is what #economicdevelopment is all about! Excited for the Steuben County IDA to be overseeing the process and even more excited the retrofit will be done at the Kanona facility! Very cool project ??

The IDA is excited to have been awarded almost $16 million from the USDOT's Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) program in partnership with Alstom, Norfolk Southern, and Binghamton University's New Energy New York! Many thanks to Senator Charles Schumer and our legislative partners for supporting this effort to build the next generation of freight trains at Alstom's Kanona facility in Bath, NY! The two test trains will be retrofitted with hybrid diesel-battery technology to support decarbonization of the freight industry. https://lnkd.in/e6VwRQeT

Thanks to Michael Crouch and the HP Hood LLC team in Arkport for the plant tour and sneak peek at the expansion to increase production of Heluva Good dip! ?? #Didyouknow that the Arkport plant has been producing milk products since the 1930s?!

Thanks to Brian Morrell for the tour of Stern EWS, manufacturer of woven industrial fabrics. Their advanced fabrics can be found in jet engines, wound care products, parachutes, and space suits… all manufactured in #Hornell, NY! In business since 1889, Stern EWS is one of the few companies in the world that can provide custom, industrial fabrics through proprietary “recipes” using Kevlar, Nomex, Nylon, Polyester, and Teflon. And #didyouknow… the company invented and produced the fabric used in car airbags! #madeinSteuben #economicdevelopment

Looks like another Acela train set left the Alstom #Hornell plant yesterday! Thanks to Craig Braack who posted these great photos online! The changing colors of fall foliage and reliable, first-class manufacturing... two things you can always count on in the Southern Tier! #economicdevelopment Steuben County Southern Finger Lakes
