Although a proposed battery recycling facility has been rejected, three members of Endicott's board of trustees say the village is prepared to welcome new businesses.
Endicott's mayor is expressing hope that former IBM buildings that are crumbling along North Street may be torn down for a future lithium-ion battery production facility.
The village of Endicott is moving to conduct independent testing of groundwater samples following efforts to remove chemical contamination linked to IBM manufacturing activities.
