Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi issued the following statement, following Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s announcement that he is awarding nearly $11 million in grant funding for drinking water and water infrastructure projects in the 119th Assembly District for the cities of Rome ($6,527,200) and Utica ($677,500); the village of Frankfort ($1,550,000); and for the Mohawk Valley Water Authority ($2,212,200):
“Clean drinking water is an absolute necessity for the health and well-being of Mohawk Valley residents. If our area is to continue moving forward economically, we must continue to invest in projects to improve water quality. I was a strong supporter of New York’s Water Infrastructure Improvement Act, and I want to thank Governor Cuomo for recognizing how important these projects are to residents of the Mohawk Valley.”
