In a motion toward bolstering its infrastructure, the County of Oswego Industrial Development Agency (IDA) has secured a substantial $2.787 million grant from the New York State Department of Transportation's Passenger and Freight Rail Assistance Program (PFRAP). This grant, announced by Governor Kathy Hochul, is earmarked for rail enhancements at the Novelis plant located in Scriba, New York.

The allocation is set to facilitate crucial improvements within the Novelis facility, particularly in optimising rail operations. These enhancements entail realigning existing tracks and turnouts to accommodate longer railcars effectively. Additionally, a section of dormant tracks will be reactivated, streamlining the movement of railcars for increased efficiency.

Transitioning to sustainable solutions: The Novelis commitment

Novelis, an international leader in aluminium rolling and recycling, is poised to replace two high-emission railcar movers with more environmentally efficient alternatives. This initiative aligns with Novelis's steadfast commitment to sustainability, emphasising the adoption of low-carbon aluminium solutions. The overarching goal of this $3.5 million project is to significantly reduce reliance on conventional transportation methods, thereby curbing emissions and fostering a greener operational framework.
