We are grateful for your dedication, perseverance and excellence.
Labor Day is an opportunity to pay tribute to workers across the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions -- and throughout this state and nation -- who build, care for, educate, grow, manufacture, protect, serve and strengthen our communities in so many different ways through so many important walks of life.
We are grateful for your dedication, perseverance and excellence.
My very best wishes to all of the workers and their families across the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes for a safe and meaningful Labor Day weekend.
