The New York Power Authority has named Jairo Florez as regional manager for Western New York, effective Sept. 5. Florez will be the first Latino American to fill the top executive role overseeing all of the Power Authority s Western New York operations, including management of the Niagara Power Project, NYPA s flagship hydroelectric power project in Lewiston.
New York lawmakers are moving to close the loophole that allowed NYPA head Justin Driscoll to drop the “acting” without the Senate voting on his nomination.
