FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Representatives of the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and Harden Furniture, in McConnellsville (Oneida County), will be joined by state and local officials on Friday, March 14, at 1 p.m. to recognize the success of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s ReCharge New York (RNY) power program in the Mohawk Valley Region.

Harden Furniture, a 170 year old, fifth generation family-owned New York business, will be featured as a prime example of how Mohawk Valley companies are saving money under RNY and reinvesting those funds in protecting jobs, and anchoring and growing their businesses.

Governor Cuomo launched the RNY power program to help businesses and other entities lower their operating costs and spur economic development. The program offers up to seven-year contracts for lower-cost power. Also attending will be members of the Mohawk Valley Regional Economic Development Council, which provides strategic guidance to state entities charged with leveraging public funding and resources to promote regional economic growth.
