TE Connectivity optical products plant, Henrietta

How to get work on it

1. The site is expected to open in spring 2027, so the build-out of the existing building is likely bought soon. Watch for the general contractor to be named; it buys almost every trade package.
2. Clean-room, process HVAC and heavy electrical are the specialist packages here. Rochester-area firms with clean-room or manufacturing experience should contact local industrial builders now.
3. Production ramps up through 2031, so equipment installation, maintenance, janitorial and facility services will be bought for years after the opening.
4. Get certified as a New York minority- or women-owned business (MWBE) or service-disabled veteran-owned business if you qualify, and bid the public work around Rochester listed below.
