Senator Bonacic Announces $75,000 Grant for the Town of Callicoon to Help with Replacement of the Bridge on Earl Myers Road
March 10, 2016
(Middletown, NY)-Senator John J. Bonacic (R/C/I-Mt. Hope) is pleased to announce that he has secured a $75,000 grant for the Town of Callicoon to help with the replacement of the bridge on Earl Myers Road. The funding for the project was secured through the State Municipal Grant Program, which was funded in the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 State Budget. The current bridge, which was built in the 1930’s, has deteriorated to the point that it must be removed. The Town Highway Department will do the construction.
“This project will not only save the taxpayers’ money, but it will improve motorist and pedestrian safety,” said Senator Bonacic.
“The Town of Callicoon is grateful for Senator Bonacic and his staff for their continued commitment to the Town, said Callicoon Supervisor Thomas Bose. “Not only will this grant allow us to continue to provide safe passage for motorists, it will also improve the accessibility to one of the region’s oldest family operated dairy farms.”
