Schumer announces $32 million in Economic Recovery Act funding coming to Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory

“This Recovery Act funding is a win-win for Schenectady County,” said Senator Charles Schumer. “These funds will ensure that the contaminated soil at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory is disposed of properly to keep our residents safe, and at the same time the clean up will create jobs and provide an economic boost to the area.”

The Department of Energy has awarded $32 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding to the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL) in Niskayuna to cleanup the site by removing contaminated soil and re-seeding the area.
