The US Senate candidate says he wants to restore fiscal responsibility, reduce the national debt and reform the tax system. He praised the port for its role in being an economic leader in Oswego and the Central New York region.
US Sen. Chuck Schumer announced Wednesday that he has secured $300,000 to design and engineer a plan to repair the 100 year old breakwall. Schumer believes that the breakwall is in danger of collapsing. That would shut down the port, which has become a busy hub of shipping activity that generates an estimated $6 million in economic benefit to the region.
Oswego could become part of a new cargo distribution system currently under development in Nova Scotia by Melford International Terminals. Oswego is “a natural fit,” a Melford official said.
