What happened
The New York Power Authority awarded a $1 million grant to a company in Lockport, New York, to help rebuild a facility following the closure of the previous Candlelight Cabinetry. The recipient company plans to invest $11 million to modernize the site and restore jobs. The previous facility shutdown occurred after the governor's office cited sudden financial distress under its previous management.
