Chairwoman Stefanik Secures $4.2 Million for Upstate & North County Projects
House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik delivered $4.2 million in funding through the Northern Border Regional Commission that will bring major investments in rural healthcare, water infrastructure, and workforce housing across NY-21 towns like Lake Placid, Whitehall, Waddington, Plattsburgh, and Webb.
These resources will modernize public health services, build new housing, and support cultural and municipal development for local priorities to strengthen economic opportunity via community development and infrastructure builds.
Chairwoman Stefanik’s work in Congress ensures that New York and the North Country communities aren’t left behind, but they're empowered to thrive!
House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik stated -
"I’m proud to announce that I helped secure over $4.2 million in funding to complete important projects via NBRC, which will spur economic growth and community development throughout our Upstate and North Country communities.
Increasing investment into our communities remains one of my top priorities as a member of Congress. I look forward to continuing to strengthen NBRC’s initiatives to enhance rural healthcare and encourage job creation across NY-21.”
Executive Director of the Lake Champlain-Lake George Regional Planning Board Beth Gilles stated -
"We’re thrilled to continue our focus on workforce housing development in the Adirondack Park with support from the Northern Border Regional Commission.
Many communities in the Park are ready for housing solutions, and this grant will help us prepare shovel-ready sites to meet that need. We’re grateful to the Congresswoman for her ongoing support of our work and of year-round residents in the Adirondacks."
Plattsburgh Mayor Wendell Hughes stated -
"It is with great appreciation that the City of Plattsburgh has been awarded this grant from the Northern Border Regional Commission for our wastewater system feasibility study for the Rugar Street corridor. This is not just important for the City of Plattsburgh’s future growth but for our region as a whole. We are grateful for Congresswoman Stefanik’s efforts on behalf of the City of Plattsburgh."
