ALBANY – Governor Kathy Hochul announced on Tuesday that several communities in the Hudson Valley will receive grants for critical water infrastructure projects, including the first funding awarded through the Clean Water, Clean Air, and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act of 2022.
The grants announced include nearly $450 million statewide awarded through the state’s Water Infrastructure Improvement (WIIA) and Intermunicipal Grant (IMG) programs. Funding this round is made possible with $249 million from the governor’s historic commitment to water quality infrastructure, and $200 million from the Environmental Bond Act.
