HOUNSFIELD — U.S. Senate MinorityLeader Charles E. Schumer recently announced $700,000 in federal funding for the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency (JCIDA) and the Town of Hounsfield. The money was allocated through the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) and will be used to construct public infrastructure to attract businesses to a new 100-acre business complex at Watertown International Airport.
The EDA funding seeks to help JCIDA and the Town of Hounsfield to install water, sewer, stormwater management, and fiber-optic cable necessary for business development at the complex. Schumer said in a release that he has “long advocated for this vital funding for Jefferson County,” and in March 2017, sent a letter to the U.S. Commerce in support of JCIDA’s application.
“This is great news for Jefferson County. This federal investment in the exciting, new Business Complex at Watertown International will help Jefferson County attract good-paying jobs by creating shovel-ready sites needed to push the region’s economy into the future,” Schumer contended in the release.
David J. Zembiec, deputy CEO of Jefferson County Economic Development, said the federal money will help the county provide “shovel-ready site options that the county needs in order to compete for new business development in today’s global economy.” He said the location of the business complex adjacent to Watertown International Airport and near Interstate 81 and the Canadian border make it “a logistically attractive location.”
The EDA provided this grant through its Local Technical Assistance Program, which “assists eligible recipients in developing economic-development plans and studies designed to build capacity and guide the economic prosperity and resiliency of an area or region,” the release stated.
