The news that the Flanders Corporation will move into Columbia County is a welcome sign that the changing dynamics in New York State are starting to reap benefits.
The Flanders Corporation has picked our region to expand its growing air filter manufacturing business which is based out of North Carolina. The Company will be creating 180 jobs and investing approximately $7 million in the former Kaz plant. The collaboration between state, county and local officials helped make this a reality and I was pleased to be a part of this economic development team.
As challenging as this past budget process was, my Republican Senate Colleagues and I remained steadfast in our commitment to deliver an on time budget that contained no new tax increases. A signal that New York can be competitive in attracting and maintaining businesses and jobs.
I am hopeful the Flanders Corporation is the first of more businesses who will see the region full of potential to establish or expand a business.
