Senator Mark Grisanti (R, I-60) announced today that he has secured funding for the Town of Tonawanda that will be used for environmental, public safety and parks and recreation projects that will enhance and improve conditions in the town while accomplishing budgetary relief and increasing efficiency.
Among the highlights are $300,000 for environmental cleanup efforts by dredging Evergreen Ditch, nearly $45,000 for salt spreaders to keep town roadways clear and safe of snow and ice during the winter months, and approximately $68,000 for various projects for the town's Youth, Parks and Recreation Department.
"As Chairman of the Senate's Environmental Conservation Committee, I am particularly pleased to help secure funds for the dredging of Evergreen Ditch to help with ongoing cleanup efforts of the environment," Senator Grisanti said. "In addition, we are providing assistance to the town's Highway, Water Services and Youth, Parks and Recreation departments with these funds. The residents of the Town of Tonawanda will directly benefit from these projects."
Senator Grisanti believes the investments being made with each project will result in immediate improvements to the Town of Tonawanda.
"These projects will improve the quality of life for residents and will help enhance the area," said Senator Grisanti. "By making the region a nice place to live, work and play, we will also encourage more people to visit the neighborhood, which will assist the many local businesses in Tonawanda. I am pleased to help the Town of Tonawanda complete these valuable improvement and maintenance projects for their residents."
