Statement From Governor Kathy Hochul on Federal-State Offshore Wind Implementation Partnership

"Combating the threat of climate change requires partnership and collaboration, and I applaud President Biden and his Administration for their continued efforts to bring together diverse stakeholders to ensure we advance offshore wind projects and develop key elements of the supply chain so that we can restore our country's manufacturing competitiveness and further spur the green economy of the future. New York is committed to establishing a robust offshore wind industry and supply chain that benefits projects along the East Coast and beyond. Expanding these efforts across the region will create good-paying jobs, improve air quality and reduce pollution while allowing our states to meet our shared climate and offshore wind goals."
