Supervisor Mack reports progress on Clark Street battery recycling center
Summary
Supervisor Robert Mack reported visiting a battery recycling operation proposed for Clark Street in Endicott, describing a micro lab, about 10 current jobs and hopes to scale to 50 jobs by year-end and 100–200 at full capacity if permits are obtained and a 50,000-square-foot facility is approved.
Supervisor Robert Mack told the board on March 19 that he had visited a battery recycling center seeking to start operations on Clark Street in Endicott. Mack said the operation demonstrated a micro lab and the process of breaking down batteries to recover elements; he reported about 10 current jobs with hopes for 50 jobs by the end of the year and a potential 50,000-square-foot facility that could employ 100–200 people once fully operational, contingent on permits and approvals.
Mack contrasted the project with a previously rejected incinerator proposal, indicating the recycling operation is different in nature. The minutes do not list the company’s name, permit timelines, or specific permitting authorities beyond general reference to required approvals.
What happens next: Project development will depend on permitting and approvals; the minutes record Mack’s remarks but do not record board action or formal referral regarding the facility.
