On April 14, 2022, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer visited Cornell University to announce he secured $8.5 million in additional federal funding for the award-winning Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) Lab. This funding comes as the CHESS Lab breaks ground on a new $32 million expansion funded by the National Science Foundation, in partnership with the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. Senator Schumer said this latest expansion will support the over 150 good-paying science and tech-based jobs at CHESS, plus over 150 new jobs in construction and to run the HMF beamline and will lay the foundation for a growing innovation economy in Upstate New York and continued American global leadership in research.
