State Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo, D–Endwell, has been a vocal supporter of the moves, co-sponsoring the 2014 bill that created the pilot program. She praised the governor’s announcement, adding that she saw more growth on the horizon.

“I expect the size of this proposed plant will need to expand because of the growing demand to process different varieties of hemp,” she said in a release. “Industrial hemp has tremendous economic potential for our region: putting farmland back to use, establishing processors like Southern Tier Hemp, and bringing many new manufacturing opportunities.”

According to Lupardo’s office, no site has yet been chosen for the Southern Tier Hemp plant.
