Empire State Development is helping the project with up to $8.5 million in performance-based Excelsior Jobs program tax credits in exchange for the job-creation commitments. Broome County is also providing assistance for the project, Hochul’s office said.
BAE Systems is a global defense, aerospace, and security company with about 93,500 employees worldwide.
The BAE Systems facility in Endicott designs, develops, and produces a broad portfolio of safety-critical electronic systems from flight and engine controls to power and energy management systems.
The company has been operational at the Huron Campus site since 2011.
“This facility expansion reinforces our commitment to the Southern Tier and builds on New York State’s vision to create a regional hub for battery innovation,” Jim Garceau, senior director of BAE Systems, said in the governor’s announcement. “With this investment, we will enhance our capabilities to address the emerging needs of the next-generation hybrid/electric aircraft.”
The project involves the expansion of BAE Systems battery-production line, including the purchase and installation of machinery and equipment to efficiently produce an energy-storage system for electric/hybrid electric aircraft. This facility will include an automated, state-of-the-art production line, an engineering lab, and an aftermarket center. The firm expects the project will be fully complete in 2027.
