Although green energy companies face mounting challenges in launching their new technologies, SolarCity Corp. says it remains committed to creating 1,460 new jobs in Buffalo.
The California company that will occupy the Western Hemisphere's largest solar panel manufacturing plant forecasts more professional and better-paying positions at its Buffalo operations, while dropping jobs at the gigantic RiverBend complex to a minimum of 500.
"We'll augment those manufacturing jobs with head count in sales, project development and other functions," said SolarCity spokeswoman Kady Cooper. "It's better for the region as it allows us to create a wider range of jobs that will be appropriate for a broader range of potential applicants."
