CENTRAL NEW YORK – U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, yesterday, announced that the bipartisan infrastructure deal he has negotiated in the Senate delivers huge for New York and will advance critical projects.
Schumer said these funds will ensure the bedrock of New York – its infrastructure, from water to sewers to subways, roads and bridges – gets long-awaited investments and relief needed to meet growing demands, boost the economy while safely and responsibly moving both people and goods across the state and beyond.
“The bipartisan infrastructure deal will be a building and jobs boon for critical New York needs from Plattsburgh to Jamestown, and everywhere in between,” said Senator Schumer. “Whether it’s critical bridge or highway repairs, safety improvements at our airports or for water systems, this deal represents massive investments that will rebuild and revive the Empire State’s infrastructure. From clean drinking water to upgraded sewer to repairing bridges and highways, there is more work to be done, but billions are on the way to move on it and create good jobs while advancing critical projects.”
Schumer detailed the ‘federal pot’ as it relates to New York’s wins on transit, passenger rail, highways, airports and water.
