Brentwood Business Receives $560K Under ReCharge NY Program

A Brentwood-based business recently received $560,000 under Governor Andrew Cuomo's statewide ReCharge NY program.

V.E. Power Door Co. was among the 27 business and non-profits in New York to receive money under the program.

On Long Island, a total of 11 organizations were awarded money including: Calico Cottage based in Amityville, Check-Mate International Products based in West Babylon, Comtech Telecommunications based in Melville, Modern Meadow based in Farmingdale, New Horizon Graphic based in Hauppauge, Polygen Pharmaceuticals based in Edgewood, The Habco Corp. based in Amityville, Cox & Company based in Plainview, Visual Millwork & Fixture Mfg. based in Deer Park and WHTB Glass LLC based in Brookhaven.

All together, the 11 business received a total of $78,370,000 under the program.

In total, the program hopes to create 647 new positions and leverage more than $167 million in new capital investment.

The ReCharge NY provides low-cost power to businesses that agree to retain or create jobs and commit to new capital spending.

The 8.5 megawatts of low-cost power under the latest allocations will be distributed among 27 businesses and nonprofit organizations across New York.

“ReCharge NY has been incredibly effective in helping businesses remain competitive and expand their operations in communities across the state,” Cuomo said. “This latest round of low-cost power allocations will build on this program’s success and help ensure that enterprises and nonprofits remain in New York, create jobs, and help drive economic growth.”

Modern Meadow was among largest recipients in the program. Other large recipients included: Frontrick Door, in Batavia WHTB Glass, and NCI Group in Rome.

“Utility costs are one of the largest expenses for many businesses and the ReCharge NY program is often the main reason they choose to stay in New York and grow their presence," Kevin Law, president and CEO of the Long Island Association, a leading business group said. "When they have access to low-cost power, companies know the state is listening to their concerns and wants them to succeed.”
