Gov. Kathy Hochul has announced a $50 million expansion for a Wayne County business.
Baldwin Richardson Foods, a food and beverage manufacturer, is set to expand its facilities in Macedon and Williamson, according to a press release from the Governor’s Office.
“New York is incredibly proud to continue our support for Baldwin Richardson Foods as it creates new, top-quality jobs for the hard-working men and women in the Finger Lakes region, strengthening the local economy,” Governor Hochul said. “The company’s continued investment in Wayne County is further proof that the food industry in the region is robust and vibrant, and this project will further fuel this momentum.”
