Congressman Lawler Announces Over $21 Million in Funding for Clean Water Project Across NY's 17th District.

Today, Congressman Mike Lawler announced that he secured an additional $7,983,200 in Community Project Funding for clean water projects across NY-17, building on the $13,487,000 secured in last year’s appropriations process.

In the New York State Assembly, Congressman Lawler supported the NYS Environmental Bond Act, which included a minimum of $650 million in funding for clean water projects across the state. In addition, both in Congress and in the State Legislature, Congressman Lawler supported legislation to tackle PFAS contamination.

“I’m thrilled to announce that we have secured over $21 million in Community Project Funding for clean water projects across NY-17,” said Congressman Lawler. “With projects being funded in all 4 counties encompassing NY-17, I’m proud of the work we’ve been able to do to meet critical needs in our community.

“Between this strong funding for clean water, my work to prevent the dumping of radioactive wastewater from the now decommissioned Indian Point, and my legislative record, which includes the passage of legislation designed to mitigate PFAS and other forever chemicals in our waterways, I have been a fierce advocate for Hudson Valley families in Congress. I will continue to build on my bipartisan track record on this front and others to secure additional victories for our community.”
