This morning, Steuben County Industrial Development Agency Director Jamie Johnson announced, that the County IDA has been working with a company that specialized in clean tech, to come in as consultants and identify what towns in Steuben County can develop clean tech projects here. “The southern tier is already a leader in the green energy economy,” Johnson said. “We’ve got nationally recognized research universities, including Alfred University, Cornell and Binghamton Universities. The southern tier also generates the most renewable power in New York State, because of our wind and solar assets. I’m including Barron Wind Phase II, Canisteo Wind, Prattsburgh Wind and a number of solar projects.” Johnson says that the Steuben County IDA has been in contact with numerous clean tech busineses.
The company which the Steuben County IDA is talking about the most, is a company called Newmark.
