Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is making a couple of stops in upstate New York to talk about new federal legislation to boost high-tech manufacturing across the state.
Gillibrand says her first bill in the new Congress would create a federal funding competition encouraging regional public-private partnerships to spur growth of local manufacturing industries, especially in clean-tech and high-tech manufacturing.
The "Made in America Manufacturing Act" also would help train workers with the skills businesses need.
Gillibrand will be at X-Ray Optical Systems in East Greenbush near Albany Monday morning. Later, she'll visit International Paper's Ticonderoga Mill in the North Country.
