ALBANY, NY – At a New York State Budget hearing at the state capital, Assemblyman Phil Palmesano asked MTA Chairman Janno Lieber, what the Hochul Administration could do to help Alstom in Hornell get more contracts with the NYC MTA. “Hornell’s Alstom facility is doing contracts for Amtrak in Chicago and Philadelphia, but none for New York City MTA at the moment,” Palmesano said to Lieber. “We know MTA projects are really a proven engine for moving jobs upstate, and we want to continue that. We know that there is a new generation of subway vehicles being proposed, I want to know what the timing will be,” Palmesano stated.
