$1.9M+ for rehabilitation of Keeseville Swing Bridge

KEESEVILLE | Gov. Kathy Hochul has announced that $97.7 million in funding has been awarded to more than 30 communities across New York State for projects that promote alternative, environmentally friendly modes of travel, such as walking, biking or riding mass transit. The funding will support initiatives that improve access to the transportation system for all users and advance New York State's nation-leading agenda to fight climate change by constructing new sidewalks, shared use paths and other enhancements that facilitate the use of non-motorized modes of travel and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The funding awards included $1,948,000 to the Clinton County Planning Department for rehabilitation and refurbishment of the Keeseville Swing Bridge to preserve a historic transportation structure that provides a pedestrian path over the AuSable River. Another $1,192,458 was awarded to the Town of Long Lake for the construction and replacement of sidewalks along Main Street. The awards were made available through the Federal Highway Administration's Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) and are being administered by the New York State Department of Transportation. "Since my first day in office, I have invested in expanding multi-modal travel options for New Yorkers across the State," Gov. Hochul said in the June 20 announcement. "By giving communities the tools they need to expand alternative modes of travel, we are helping to reduce emissions while creating a healthier and more vibrant transportation system that benefits all New Yorkers." Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said, "I am proud to have paved the ways for these tremendous investments in greenways, biking paths and walking paths and expanded transportation infrastructure to keep Upstate New York rolling to a cleaner, healthier, and more accessible future."
