On August 6, 2024, after announcing that Edwards Vacuum chose to build a manufacturing facility in Western New York two years ago, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer today celebrated the first dry pump manufacturing facility for the semiconductor industry to be located in the United States that is expected to have a $300+ million investment and create a whopping 600+ good-paying jobs.
“Thanks to my CHIPS & Science Law, which continues to deliver investment after investment for Upstate NY, we are adding another stop to our semiconductor superhighway along the booming I-90 corridor Tech Hub with Edwards Vacuum’s groundbreaking milestone celebration today. Edwards Vacuum is a major player in the semiconductor supply chain, and it’s about to power Genesee County with a $319 million facility and 600 new, good-paying jobs. I am continuing to push for landing the federal incentives from my CHIPS & Science Law to make this project a reality, boosting Genesee County’s economy and positioning Western NY as a hub for Upstate NY and the nation’s semiconductor industry\" said Senator Schumer.
