RECOGNIZING ALSTOM'S PLANT IN HORNELL
(Mr. LANGWORTHY asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a major
milestone for American manufacturing for New York's southern tier.
Alstom, a global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, has opened
its new, cutting-edge plant 4 facility in Hornell, New York.
This 135,000-square-foot expansion brings stainless steel railcar
body production back to the United States, strengthening our domestic
supply chain, and reaffirming Hornell's position as the Nation's
premier center for passenger train manufacturing.
Plant 4 isn't just a facility. It is a symbol of what investment in
American industry looks like. It will retain 390 good-paying jobs
locally and create 258 new ones for families across my district.
These are high-quality, high-tech jobs that provide economic
stability and opportunity for the hardworking people of the southern
tier.
Production will soon begin on 200 multilevel commuter railcars for
Chicago's Metra system, proof that what is built in Hornell rolls
across the Nation.
This project is a powerful example of how we strengthen our economy
by investing in our communities, empowering our workforce, and leading
the way in advanced manufacturing.
I commend Alstom for their continued commitment to Hornell and thank
the skilled men and women who are driving this legacy forward.
