Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
Following his direct advocacy that secured Western New York Advanced Manufacturing Cluster’s a spot as a finalist for up to a $100 million in the Economic Development Administration (EDA) Regional Challenge grant, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer continued this momentum by launching a major push for the feds to select Western New York’s project. Schumer explained that since receiving these funds, the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council (WNYREDC) has been able to form a broad coalition of public and private sector partners committed to bolstering Western New York’s advanced manufacturing infrastructure and next-generation, skilled workforce. Schumer also revealed how new programs in his bipartisan U.S. Innovation and Competition Act (USICA), like the $10 billion regional technology hub program and significant investment in strengthening domestic manufacturing, shoring up our supply chains, and boosting research and tech education and training are uniquely suited to support Buffalo and Western New York in scaling up advanced manufacturing and connecting more workers to good-paying jobs. Receipt of the Regional Challenge Grant funding, Schumer said, would elevate the region as an emerging global tech hub and make Buffalo a more competitive candidate for further federal investment, fundamentally reshaping the WNY economic landscape.
