Senator Bonacic Announces $100,000 Grant for the Town of Fallsburg

(Middletown, NY)- State Senator John J. Bonacic (R/C/I-Mt. Hope) is pleased to announce that he has secured a $100,000 grant for the Town of Fallsburg to help with the installation of sidewalks in the Hamlet of Hurleyville. The grant was secured as part of the State Municipal Grant Program, funding for which was appropriated in the 2016-2017 State Budget.

The $100,000 grant will be dedicated to the construction of new sidewalks and curbing along the easterly side of Main Street in the Hamlet of Hurleyville, between Thompson Street and Cunes Road. The scope of the work includes demolition and removal of existing concrete sidewalks, new concrete curb, relocation of one fire hydrant, asphalt paving and restoration work including topsoil, seeding, and mulching in disturbed areas.

“The Hamlet of Hurleyville is undergoing a transformation, with millions of dollars of investment coming in,” said Senator Bonacic. “This grant will help Hurleyville continue its ascendance, make it safer for pedestrians to get around, and save local taxpayers money.”

Town of Fallsburg Supervisor Steven Vegliante,“The Town of Fallsburg is extremely grateful to Senator Bonacic for assisting with this grant.  Hurleyville is in the midst of an incredible transformation thanks to the investment of the Center for Discovery and others, and any assistance with improving our infrastructure, and in this case our sidewalks, is appreciated by our residents.   Specifically, this grant and the improved sidewalks will benefit the entire community, but especially those who are mobility challenged.  All of our residents deserve to share in the reborn hamlet of Hurleyville, and this grant will help us make sure that can happen.”
