JAMESTOWN – For the second time in less than a week, the Lt. Governor of New York will be making an appearance in Jamestown.
A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held Thursday morning for New Flyer, the Canadian transit bus company that opened a manufacturing location at the former Fluvanna Quality Markets.
The event is scheduled to take place at 11 a.m. with Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul expected to be on hand, along with city and county development officials and representatives from Ed Shults Real Estate, which owns the property and is leasing it to New Flyer.
The New Flyer project is the result of the Start-Up NY project, along with funding support from both the county IDA and Jamestown Local Development Corporation.
Currently 34 people are already working at the facility, which makes parts for the New Flyer bus lines.
Last Friday, Lt. Gov. Hochul was in Jamestown to present the governor’s 2017-18 state budget and highlight the initiatives that would impact Jamestown and Chautauqua County.
