Governor applauds commitment to continued investment in New York CORNING, N.Y. -- Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) broke ground today on a previously announced $300 million facility improvement plan for the company's Sullivan Park Research and Development campus near Corning, N.Y. New York Governor Eliot Spitzer helped lead the ceremonial groundbreaking, along with Corning leadership, employees and invited dignitaries. The expansion plan at Corning's world-leading research center includes significant renovation of an existing research and development building and construction of a new facility. Results are expected to include increased operational efficiency, flexibility, space utilization and energy efficiency. All phases of this project are expected to be completed by 2013, with expenditures phased over the course of this six-year period. Corning Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Wendell P. Weeks set the stage as he spoke to Corning's long history of successful innovation. Next year marks 100 years of dedicated research at Corning - an achievement that only five U.S. companies can claim. "Today's groundbreaking represents an important milestone in our continuing commitment to excellence in research and development, and to the southern tier of New York State," Weeks said. Weeks traced Corning's history of research breakthroughs from developing the glass envelope to commercialize Thomas Edison's electric light bulb, to cathode ray tubes that enabled the growth of television, to today's newest game-changing technology, ultra-bendable fiber. "Today's announcement demonstrates that great companies like Corning are investing in Upstate New York's innovation economy because they understand its potential," said Governor Spitzer. "These are the type of key projects that will continue to drive the revival of the Upstate economy and the Southern Tier." Corning Chief Technology Officer Dr. Joseph A. Miller spoke of Corning as an organization that thrives on creating first-of-a-kind, life-changing innovations. He attributed Corning's ongoing success in research and development to a special recipe: a centralized and collaborative R&D environment, a vibrant innovation heritage, and a community of talented employees to whom Miller dedicated the event. "They are delivering the inventions and innovations that will not only grow Corning, but will contribute to the well-being of this region," Miller said. Assistance for this expansion project has been offered by the Empire State Development Corporation, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, and the New York State Department of Transportation in the forms of: a $1.5 million capital grant; up to $1.5 million in project funding; and up to $750,000 in Industrial Access Program funding, respectively.

NYC Symposium to Explore The Economic State of Green Building The Green Building Industry's Top Analyst and New York's Green Financial Advisor aim to educate Eco Investors and take Green Building to new heights San Diego, CA. Nov 7, 2007 - Harvey Bernstein of McGraw-Hill Construction and Bruce Kahn, Citi Smith Barney's Green Financial Advisor, will come together to explore the riveting topic of "The Economic State of Green Building" at the Eco Investment Club's Symposium on November 19th, 6-8PM. These industry leaders will discuss Economic Forecasts, the current state of Green Building, the principles of Investing in "Green" and current Industry Trends, all of which will be held above the Manhattan skyline at Citi Smith Barney's Park Avenue offices. "Those that invest (in Green Buildings) understand the advantages of green design-from the health benefits and the resource (energy, water, etc.) conservation. Both of those save $$ for owners, and those concepts have traction now in the marketplace," said Harvey Bernstein, Vice President of Industry Analytics, Alliances and Strategic Initiatives for McGraw-Hill Construction in a recent interview with Yeves Perez, Founder of the Eco Investment Club. Bernstein then added, "However, that is the part of the population that has been exposed to that level of education, and the reality is that we as "information providers" still have our work cut out for us in reaching those investors who aren't as aware of how the market is shifting. It's an exciting opportunity, though, to be helping to push what is now a fully emerging trend to one that becomes standard". The complete interview with Mr. Bernstein will be featured in the up coming article, "What Green Invest ors Should Know About Investing in Green Buildings," released this Friday, November 16th. Mr. Bernstein had also commented on the touchy "ROI" questions saying, "Our Commercial Green Building SmartMarket Report has shown that (Green) building owners expect decreases of operating costs between 8% and 9%, average increases expected of around 7.5% in building values, an ROI improvement of 6.6%, occupancy ratio expected to increase by 3.5% on average and rent increasing by three percent on average".
