Senator Patrick M. Gallivan, (R-C-I, Elma) is praising state grants awarded through the Governor’s Passenger and Freight Rail Assistance Program, including rehabilitation projects in Wyoming and Livingston counties. The funding will support projects that strengthen infrastructure and economic development throughout the state.
“These investments not only support safe and reliable rail transportation, they also promote economic development and ensure growth in communities across the state,” Gallivan said. “I’m pleased that rail projects in Wyoming and Livingston counties are among those being funded.”
Grant recipients include:
- Arcade & Attica Railroad Corp., Wyoming County: $1.3 million to rehabilitate a bridge and 6 miles of track to accommodate heavier rail cars.
- Livonia, Avon & Lakeville Railroad Corp., Livingston County: $1.1 million to rehabilitate yard tracks in Lakeville and Avon.
New York awarded $25 million to 19 applicants through a competitive solicitation process. These investments will support track rehabilitation, capacity expansion, railroad bridge repairs, and economic development opportunities. An additional $5.4 million in private and local funding is being leveraged through this State initiative.
