Today, The Agency hosted a ground "raising" event at 600 Main Street in the Town of Union.
The former BAE Systems site, vacant since 2011, is getting a new future. Work is beginning to elevate approximately 16 of the 27 acres above the floodplain, creating a build-ready development pad for a future industrial user.
The result will be a fully infrastructured, shovel-ready site in the center of Broome County, positioned to support new jobs and investment.
The Agency would also like to thank our partners, Senator Schumer’s office for securing the initial funding for remediation and master planning, Empire State Development for the FAST NY funding supporting the development of the site, and Broome County and Town of Union for believing in the future of this site.
