ReCharge NY economic development power allocations announced for local manufacturers, businesses

State Senator Tom O'Mara (R-C, Big Flats), a member of the Senate Energy and Telecommunications Committee, said today that a number of leading businesses and manufacturers from throughout the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions are among more than 500 organizations statewide being awarded low-cost economic development power allocations under the first round of the ReCharge New York (RNY) program.

RNY, a major statewide initiative for retaining and creating jobs and spurring capital investments, was approved by the Legislature and signed into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo last year.  O'Mara co-sponsored and strongly supported the program's creation.

“These economic development power allocations are vital to maintaining jobs and promoting economic growth and stability in the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions, and throughout upstate.  Many local businesses and manufacturers depend on this low-cost energy to preserve jobs and stay competitive.  With nothing but higher energy costs on the horizon, ReCharge New York gives employers the long-term economic stability they need and helps strengthen the state’s business climate,” said O’Mara, noting that the Southern Tier was the second-highest allocation region outside of New York City.
