Lowville Kraft Plant sees $22 million in funding withdrawn
LOWVILLE, N.Y. (WWTI) – The Lowville Kraft plant will be losing out in $22 million funding after cuts made by the federal government. In an announcement from United States Senator Charles Schumer's office, President Donald Trump's administration 'abruptly rescinded a $170 million Department of Energy grant for Kraft-Heinz. Sweet Victory: Kraft Heinz in Lowville reclaims largest cheesecake record The cuts were earmarked for clean energy and decarbonization projects across the nation under former President Joe Biden. Lowville's plant was slated to use the money to transition the Kraft-Heinz plant in Lowville off of fossil fuels. On Friday, the federal government officially withdrew $3.7 billion in funding for 24 projects spanning the nation. This includes $170 million that was supposed to be aside for the Kraft-Heinz company to decarbonize 10 production facilities. Lowville was included on that list of plants. This federal funding was promised to Kraft-Heinz to modernize the Lowville factory and support North Country jobs. Taking away this investment is an unjust blow to Lewis County's biggest employer. United States Senator Charles Schumer Schumer went onto add 'It is a slap in the face by the Trump administration to the North Country to eliminate funding that is critical to the success of this major employer. I urge Congresswoman Stefanik to join me in denouncing the Trump administration's callous cancellation of this grant, knowing that this action directly hurts local jobs, undercuts the success of one of the North Country's most beloved employers, and undermines upgrades meant to help a factory that so many of our Upstate dairy farmers rely on.'
