Assemblyman Billy Jones: Over $9 million in state funding coming to Assembly District 115 for water infrastructure projects

“North Country towns and municipalities are working hard to ensure that all North Country residents have access to clean water, but they need state support to make necessary repairs to the infrastructure. Today the awardees of the Water Infrastructure Improvement Act grants were announced, and it is great news that over $9 million will be coming to the North Country to assist local governments for water projects. More funding will continue to come to our region as a result of the enacted budget that allocated $5oo million in clean water infrastructure funding on top of $400 million for the Environmental Protection Fund. It’s important to me to protect our natural resources and our waterways and I will continue to advocate for more funding for water infrastructure to protect the North Country and the Adirondack regions for generations to come.”
