CAPE VINCENT — Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., vowed Friday to help secure an $800,000 federal grant that would allow MetalCraft Marine, a Kingston, Ontario-based custom boat manufacturer, to expand its Cape Vincent boat shop and “double or triple” its U.S. work force within the next couple of years.
“I will fight tooth and nail so that MetalCraft Marine receives an investment they need from the federal government, which will help them grow even further. It’s a smart investment as it would be returned twofold in benefits and jobs right here in the north country,” Sen. Schumer said during a visit to the boatyard.
