B-N-E Reports Progress on Jobs

Mike Desmond

BUFFALO (2007-10-03) Buffalo Niagara Enterprise President and C-E-O Tom Kucharski says Western New York is on a roll, with the B-N-E and agencies it works with attracting more than $2-billion in new investment.

Kucharski says the agency has also helped to add around 1,200 new jobs and helped to retain hundreds more.

"We've had Geico, we've had HSBC's data-center and all their jobs...Citicorp, not one but two expansions, Delphi's still here, Ford Stamping Plant, the GM expansion...I'll put that dossier out with anybody around the country," Kucharski told WNED.

Kucharski says local medical research is not only spinning off commercial products and potential jobs but they are staying here, not shifting somewhere else.

The BNE also announced David Smith, CEO of National Fuel Gas, is its new board chairman.
