HEUVELTON -- The boat launch area on the Oswegatchie River in the Village of Heuvelton is getting $100,000 from the state for upgrades.
The grant will allow the village to replace docking, create a parking area, and build a small pavilion with barbecue grills and horseshoe pits, according to Sen. Patty Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, who announced the funding.
“We are excited to be able to make these long needed improvements with the senator's help,” Heuvelton Mayor Barb Lashua said in a news release from Ritchie’s office. “We look forward to providing the public with better facilities to enjoy the Oswegatchie River.”
The village’s boat launch is home to the Labor Day Lawn Mower Races, which are a major fundraiser for the Heuvelton Volunteer Fire Department.
Release of funds is subject to state approval.
“These upgrades not only make the launch area safer, but it will truly enhance the area for those looking to take a break from everyday life and enjoy everything the Oswegatchie River has to offer,” Ritchie said in a prepared statement. "I am pleased to have secured this funding, and look forward to seeing how the improvements help more people get outdoors and enjoy the waterway."
