"The encouragement that we have received from the local community and various local, state and federal representatives to locate our first U.S.-based production facility in the United States and, more specifically, in the state of New York, has been overwhelming. We feel strongly about the plan that we have put forth, which will help create good jobs and promote sustainable economic growth for the state, and we look forward to a decision for potential financial collaboration."
