On March 29th, 2016, standing at Amy’s Kitchen in Goshen, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today pushed the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to expedite a key review of wetlands for the Goshen, NY site where Amy’s Kitchen intends to build its new $95 million, 369,000-square foot meal-manufacturing plant. Schumer explained that Amy’s Kitchen plans to turn the formerly vacant property into a major distribution center through this significant investment, which is expected to create 700 good-paying, local jobs with the potential to expand to nearly 1,000 jobs However, Schumer said that this wetlands review is an important hurdle that must be overcome before construction can begin, and will help keep the project moving towards the important construction phase, and signaling to locals that the development meets the strict standards of the federal government. Schumer said that, with this wetlands review determination in hand, Amy’s Kitchen will be one step closer to beginning construction and keeping this critical, job-creating project on track.
