From the article: "There is little to distinguish the expanse of land fronting a two-lane highway in Genesee County as a place on the verge of transforming the region's economy.
Nothing, save for a sign, alerts travelers on Route 77 that New York state and others have primed these fallow fields with a commitment of $60 million in taxpayer dollars.
The sign reads STAMP, Science Technology and Advanced Manufacturing Park. And over the past dozen years or so, the money paid for that sign ($49,798, records show) as well as to buy the land, to upgrade electrical lines and study how a major user might impact the grid, to complete environmental work and get started on water, sewer and road projects, and to design and permit infrastructure needed to increase the capacity or expanse of each. About $40 million has allocated, according to the Genesee County Economic Development Center, which operates STAMP.
Yet the 1,250 acres remain empty, waiting.
In recent days, work crews began preparations for a new electric substation — think of it like a big extension cord — to power what, in a year's time, promises to be the nation's largest clean hydrogen plant. The combined $290 million project will make Plug Power the park's first tenant; and the county's soon-to-be largest non-utility taxpayer.
Plug Power, based in Latham, Albany County, and with existing operations in the Rochester metro area, develops fuel cell systems for vehicles and equipment.
It's a substantial first step. And the $55 million substation that the company is fronting is of considerable benefit, as Plug Power expects to take only 45% of the available power, officials said.
But STAMP was built for far bigger.
To deliver on the transformative promise means landing a tenant the size of Samsung, which toured the property this summer but reportedly is close to finalizing a deal to build its $17 billion semiconductor facility outside Austin, Texas. Company officials say they are still deliberating.
Others said to have expressed interest include Intel, Micron and Texas Instruments." (I'll stop there)
