ALBANY – The state Environmental
Facilities Corporation has approved funding for Town of Liberty water
projects.
A total of $3.4 million was approved including a $2 million grant and
a $1.4 million zero-interest loan to finance the costs associated with
construction of a new water storage tank; replacement of aged water mains,
well pumps, and a new emergency generator to improve the system’s
compliance with current standards.
The funding to Liberty is part of $11.5 million in grants, interest-free
loans and low-cost loans to support drinking water and wastewater infrastructure
projects across New York.
“Investments in our water infrastructure are vital to the growth
and prosperity of communities across New York,” said Governor Andrew
Cuomo.
