The state's top two elected officials were in Rochester
Wednesday to make an announcement about economic development in
the region.
Governor Andrew Cuomo called the announcement more important than the one Vice President Joe Biden made back in July when Rochester was designated the photonics hub. Cuomo, along with Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, announced the first photonic industries to set up shop in Rochester.
Photonica and Avogy are coming to town. Avogy is relocating to the area from California's Silicon Valley. The two companies will work out of Canal Ponds Park in Greece and at Eastman Business Park. The governor said it's a $1.6 billion investment that will create 1,400 jobs.
