Sen. Griffo, who helped secure funding, attends ribbon-cutting for new Brasher pavillion

Posted

BRASHER – New York State Senate Deputy Minority Leader Joseph Griffo, R-Rome, on Sunday joined with Town of Brasher officials and others for a ribbon cutting ceremony for a new pavilion at the Tri-Town Community Center.

Sen. Griffo, whose 47th Senate District includes the towns of Massena, Brasher, Norfolk, Stockholm, Potsdam, Pierrepont, Russell, Clifton, Fine, and Pitcairn in St. Lawrence County, plus Lewis and Oneida counties, secured $70,000 for the pavilion work, which included a structure kit, concrete base pad and roofing materials.

“It was my pleasure to advocate for and obtain this funding for the Town of Brasher,” Griffo said. “With this funding, the town has been able to make enhancements that will provide community members with a beautiful space to gather and enjoy the company of friends, family and neighbors."

Griffo also secured $50,000 for the town to purchase four generators. The generators will be at the Helena water pump house and the town's municipal building, garage and sewer plant.

“We are greatly appreciative of Deputy Minority Leader Griffo’s efforts in securing this funding,” Town of Brasher Supervisor Mark Peets said. “This funding has allowed us to make needed improvements that will benefit the community.”
