On August 1, 2023, standing at the Schuyler County Business Park, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, revealed new federal legislation, the bipartisan ONSHORE Act, that would create a new federal investment program to breathe new life into industrial sites across Upstate New York and bring good-paying manufacturing jobs back from overseas to places like the Southern Tier. Senator Schumer said that this new bipartisan bill will provide much-needed federal support to help bolster site-readiness and workforce development efforts that America needs to onshore critical industries, including semiconductor and clean energy technology supply chains, being spurred from the CHIPS & Science Act, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and the Inflation Reduction Act. Senator Schumer explained that sites like the Schuyler County Business Park are primed to take advantage of this new program proposed in the ONSHORE Act, and said that with this boost in federal investment, Schuyler County and the Southern Tier can lead the resurgence of American manufacturing in high-tech sectors.
