New York Governor Kathy Hochul has started her term with strong support for a cleaner, more sustainable environment for New York! Last week after surveying the damage from Ida, she announced an increase to the upcoming environmental bond act from $3 billion to $4 billion. Stay tuned for more information on how to support this important ballot measure in November 2022.
In the nearer term, Governor Hochul announced a new round of funding for communities to repair and update their wastewater and drinking water infrastructure - $600 million in grant funds that local governments can apply for. Learn more about accessing these funds at an informational session we are co-hosting with Assemblyman Steve Otis at the Jay Heritage Center in Rye on October 20th at 1pm.
