State Resources Coming to Improve Local Roads and Bridges

“Much of our state’s infrastructure is in need of serious repairs and upgrades. Having safe roads that are devoid of potholes and other issues is an important part of our efforts to create jobs and grow our local economy. As part last year’s budget, the Senate fought to guarantee local input for the BRIDGE NY program, because our communities know where the funding is most needed. These projects represent how progress can be made when our state and local governments work together. With a strong network of well-maintained roads, highways, and bridges, we can attract new employers, help existing businesses get their goods to market, and ensure safety for all motorists,” said Senator Young.

• $285,000 to the town of Portage for Pennycook Road;
