# New York Awards $62M for Site Upgrades

On November 13, 2026, New York State announced more than $62 million in POWER UP awards for electrical infrastructure improvements at Eastman Business Park in Rochester and Renaissance Commerce Park in Lackawanna. The awards—$59.95 million and $2.17 million, respectively—are intended to make the industrial sites power-ready for advanced manufacturing and other high-growth industries. The projects have combined total costs of $96.22 million, and the state’s POWER UP program is a $300 million open-enrollment initiative.

- Contractors and site developers may find follow-on electrical, utility, and site-development opportunities as the award projects advance.
- Companies pursuing work connected to these sites should account for the project scale: Eastman Business Park’s total project cost is $93.55 million, while Renaissance Commerce Park’s is $2.67 million.
- The open-enrollment structure gives industrial-site owners and developers a route to seek support for electrical readiness; firms can evaluate whether their capabilities align with related site and manufacturing investments.
