U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer says the Hornell Industrial Development Agency is going to be getting $3.4 million dollars from the Economic Development Administration, in order to expand Alstom in Hornell. Schumer pushed for the grant, which will result in 250 new jobs. “This is tremendous news for the City of Hornell.” said John Buckley, Mayor of the City of Hornell. “This project will allow for significant infrastructure improvements to the Shawmut Industrial Park, foster investment in the area, and create hundreds of good paying jobs. Hornell will be one of the only places in the U.S. producing train passenger car shells. Thank you Senator Schumer for helping secure Hornell’s spot on the map as one of the train manufacturing hubs for America!”
