Application deadline for Water Infrastructure Grant program is June 23; St. Lawrence County municipalities can apply

Posted

North Country Assemblyman Marc W. Butler (R-Newport) says the first round of the Water Infrastructure Grant program will begin soon.

The grant application deadline for the 2017 round of grants is Friday, June 23.

“Healthy and safe water is important to the growth and vitality of people and their communities,” said Butler. “I encourage the municipalities within my assembly district to look into the program to see how it can help them update and upgrade their water infrastructure. It’s important we invest in our infrastructure and this is a particularly great way to do so.”

The 2017-18 Enacted Budget provides $2.5 billion in water infrastructure grants statewide. This year, $255 million will be invested in drinking and wastewater infrastructure projects and $30 million will be put toward an intermunicipal grant program.

More information on the grant programs can be found at the Environmental Facilities Corporation website, www.efc.ny.gov/NYSWaterGrants. Municipalities are encouraged to also contact Butler’s office for additional support, 315-866-1632.
