Smullen Outraged Remington Arms Company, Inc. In Ilion Will Be Forced To Close
A Statement from Assemblyman Robert Smullen (R,C-Mohawk Valley and the Adirondacks)
December 1, 2023
“Remington’s reported decision to close its Ilion plant next year is concerning and unfortunate. This facility, which received significant investment from the state, employs many local residents. Unfortunately, like we have seen all too often in New York, burdensome regulations, crippling taxes and problematic energy and other policies continue to force businesses and companies to flee the state taking jobs and livelihoods with them. We will continue to communicate with state and federal officials and work to help and assist the company’s employees and their families during this difficult time.”
