Submarine industry surge boosts Central New York jobs
Lockheed Martins Salina unit delivered the final AN/BSY-2 combat system to General Dynamics Electric Boat in Groton for the Seawolf, a $1.87 billion comma system. The project ties into a regional network of suppliers from Lockheed Martin in Syracuse to Dependa ble Tool & Die in Geddes supporting about 2,000 jobs and more than 100 firms connected to the undersea sector. The Seawolf, launched June 24 in Groton, will see initial light off mid July as Lockheed Martins teams work to install the system and prepare for the next generation of attack subs, with a Navy decision expected by January.

Center of the world lost to time and jobs in Syracuse
A look at Syracuse once known as Electronics Park reveals a vanished manufacturing era. GE and Carrier shaped livelihoods, unions battled for gains, and automation plus offshore production reshaped Onondaga County. Now aging plants fade, wages lag inflation, and new jobs arrive with mixed impact.
