Schenectady County receives stimulus money for infrastructure

Schenectady County will receive $1.9 million in federal stimulus money to repair 6.5 miles of County roads thanks to the continuing investment of the federal stimulus package. “I want to thank Governor Paterson for providing this important funding through the Federal stimulus plan,” said Susan E. Savage, Chairwoman of the Schenectady County Legislature. “The investment in these projects will put people to work in these tough economic times and provide safe roadways for our residents.”

The stimulus legislation was passed with the help of Congressman Paul Tonko, and Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Charles Schumer and signed by President Barack Obama. New York has been one of the most successful states in the nation in getting the federal stimulus money out the door and into the economy.
