Zero Dock Street, Carthage, New York


About the Event:

Let's Talk About It.

Welcome to the Jefferson-Lewis Manufacturers Alliance Breakfast! At this event we're learning from you - the experts in manufacturing. Here, you'll have the opportunity to share where you are now - including challenges and opportunities for growth - and where you would like to be. If everything goes right, what does your business look like? What does the manufacturing industry look like?

Now, how do we get to where you want to be? What needs to happen locally, regionally, and at the state-level to make change?
