ITHACA — E2e materials has taken another step toward establishing its new manufacturing facility in Geneva.
The firm closed a $400,000 loan from the Ontario County Economic Development Corp. in support of the project. The company also received a $750,000 grant from the town of Geneva and the New York State Office of Community Renewal.
The 100,000-square-foot plant, to be located in the HP Neun building at Gambee Road and Route 14, will create as many as 200 new jobs over the next five years, according to e2e. It’s set to open in June.
