Employment News
As many as 1,000 new jobs, most of them in construction, will come to Long Island, New York due to a contract awarded for a high-intensity light beam project at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Torcon, a New Jersey construction company, this week won the contract to build the project’s accelerator ring, the largest component of the planned National Synchrotron Light Source II.
The company estimated that 90 percent of the total construction contract cost of more than $170 million will be spent directly with Long Island contractors and suppliers through 2012.
The $912-million facility’s high-intensity light beams will allow an unprecedented level of precision for medical, energy and materials research.
