Assembly Speaker Begins Statewide Tour

This week, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie began his annual statewide tour, his fourth such tour since becoming Assembly Speaker. The Speaker began this tour in Plattsburgh, NY, joined by Assembly member Billy Jones, where they toured the Bombardier manufacturing plant.

Speaker Heastie said:

“As speaker it is important for me to understand the needs of all of the regions around the state. Today’s visit to Plattsburgh illustrated the investments being made to provide jobs and help boost our economy and uplift our communities. Bombardier is responsible for producing subway cars used by the MTA, showing how a thriving upstate economy affects the economy statewide.”
