Musk and Solar City: Bringing More Than Wings to Buffalo

Bloomberg Business Week thinks that Musk, along with CEOs like him, can re-define the rust-belt with new tech companies.  Musk has announced plans to establish a solar panel manufacturing company in Buffalo within the next year.

Local legend says it was 50 years ago when Teressa Bellissimo dropped fried chicken wings into a vat of hot sauce at the Anchor Bar. The result became Buffalo’s most celebrated export.

Now the city in western New York is banking on a different recipe that Mayor Byron Brown says will bring 12,000 jobs in the next three years: a collaboration among elected officials, businesses and universities. As part of the program, billionaire Elon Musk is opening the largest solar-panel factory of its kind in the Western Hemisphere.
