The state and federal investigations of the Buffalo Billion program are getting bigger. Solar City has now been subpoenaed.

The Governor's move to kick-start the Western New York economy is being investigated for possible conflicts of interest, no-bid contracts and improper lobbying on behalf of those involved in the project.

Solar City, a $750 million project, confirms it's been notified and says it will fully cooperate with investigators but also claims it is not the focus of the investigation.
