Statement from Governor Kathy Hochul

"When Sumitomo closed its doors, my Administration got to work - day and night - to bring this site back to life. Its potential is too great, and the people of Tonawanda and Western New York too determined, to let it sit idle. Today's announcement is a promising step forward, and I will keep standing with the workers and their families until this plant is once again driving jobs and opportunity."
