Upstate United Commends IBM for $20 Billion Investment in the Hudson Valley

October 6th, 2022

The following statement is attributable to Justin Wilcox, executive director of Upstate United

“IBM, which has a long-standing history of innovation and job creation in Upstate New York, is strengthening its New York roots with this $20 billion investment over the coming decade. IBM’s high-tech projects will spark job growth and economic activity in the Hudson Valley at a critical time.

It’s important to remember that IBM was born out of the hard work of several small businesses in Upstate New York more than 100 years ago. While it’s great that another large company is investing in New York, Governor Hochul and legislators must support the small businesses of today through pro-growth policies that will deliver much-needed relief and reforms.”
