Governor Cuomo (NY) Announces $37 Million to Upgrade Water & Wastewater Infrastructure

On July 5, 2017, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that nearly $37 million in grants and interest-free low-cost loans have been approved to support critically needed drinking water and wastewater projects across the state.[1]

In a press release, Governor Cuomo praised the dedication and efficiency state officials have shown when approving vital water infrastructure projects. A trait that has made the state of New York the leader in annual water-quality and wastewater infrastructure investments.

“Improving and modernizing New York’s water infrastructure is a top priority of this administration, and this investment will help communities across the state upgrade their infrastructure and lay the foundation for future growth.”[2]

To date, $225 million in Water Infrastructure Improvement grants have leveraged over $1 billion in total funds for over 20 projects in New York State. According to Governor Cuomo’s website, these grants and low or no-interest loans have produced an estimated $629 million in taxpayer savings, while strengthening the state’s water and sewer infrastructure network.
