CARMEL – Putnam County Government is going to receive a $100,000 state grant to conduct drainage improvements to Airport Park in Mahopac. The county-owned property was leased to the Town of Carmel for 99 years back in 2005.
The drainage improvements will improve water quality to downstream wetlands and surrounding water bodies, rectify water runoff issues, reducing phosphorous in runoff at Lake McGregor, which abuts Airport Park.
“The Town of Carmel will be doing a major transformation of Airport Park to better serve its residents,” said County Executive MaryEllen Odell. “Putnam County was able to apply for a state grant that provides a better foundation for the project.”
