Niagara Falls.

The allocation of 2,500 kilowatt (kw) is being offered to Falls Metal  
Recycling, which is planning to invest $14.6 million in a new  
facility on a 14-acre site, of which approximately half is a  
brownfield, at 1501 College Ave. The proposed project’s added benefit  
would be to make use of dormant industrial land for redevelopment and  
economic growth.

Falls Metal Recycling, a New York state entity formed in January,  
will be drawing from the local job pool to fill 45 positions that  
include a diverse range of skill levels. The company also will  
partner with a local trucking business for obtaining the scrap metals  
and distributing the recycled materials from the Niagara Falls  
facility. That is expected to create an additional 15 jobs beyond  
those at the new facility, which could begin operating by year’s end.
