County legislator urged board to pursue grants for river cleanups; bridge over Route 119 identified as major repair need
Summary
At the meeting the Chair said county legislator David described county grant programs for small river cleanups and announced a Thursday Zoom to review walk findings; the chair also said a bridge on Route 119 has a separation warranting a major future repair and that Senator Durant pledged $2 million toward related work.
The Chair (S1) told the board the county legislator, identified in the meeting as David, briefed the village about county grant programs that can fund small river cleanup projects and related improvements.
The Chair said the village will join a Thursday 4:00 p.m. Zoom meeting to walk through the list of issues identified during a recent site walk and to assess which items might qualify for county grants or matching funds. "We're doing a Zoom meeting Thursday at 4:00," the Chair said when announcing the follow-up.
The Chair cautioned that one of the most significant needs is a structural separation in the middle of the bridge over Route 119 and that repairing that structure would likely require multi-million-dollar funding beyond the scope of small grant programs. The Chair also said Senator Durant has committed $2,000,000 in grant funding to help address some of the needs identified.
The board did not record further action or a vote in the provided transcript excerpt; the Chair said the village would report back at a subsequent meeting after the Zoom discussion.
