State Senator Cathy Young is pleased for the economic development in Allegany County. “Today’s announcement of funding for Alfred University and Alfred State College is exciting news for economic development in Allegany County,” said Senator Young. “The Center for High-Temperature Characterization at Alfred University, and the Sustainable Advanced Manufacturing Center at Alfred State College’s Wellsville Campus, will provide students using these facilities with a world-class education in state-of-the-art practices for advanced manufacturing. Manufacturing remains an integral part of our economy in the Southern Tier, and preparing people of all ages for careers in fields where good-paying jobs are open immediately is an important step in jump-starting our state’s economy.”
