On Monday, Senator John Bonacic spoke at a press conference arranged by the Town of Wallkill Supervisor, Dan Depew, announcing Pratt & Whitney, the designer, manufacturer and servicer of engine and propulsion systems expanding its operations in the Town of Wallkill by investing $140 million and doubling its workforce. The company will be located on Tower Drive in a 71,500 square foot building. The company was offered a $900,000 Capital Grant and up to $1.6 million Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits by the state's Empire State Development Corporation, which are tied to job creation and investment commitments, as well as other incentives.
