Putnam Avenue sewer project grant award
The village is fixing storm sewer problems on Locust Avenue with a $75,000 capital project and a $65,500 construction award to Legacy Supply LLC.
Glen Avenue / North Regent Street stormwater project
Major drainage work is underway to keep stormwater out of basements in the low-lying parts of the village; recent street flooding was explained by a temporary construction dam, and restoration of Davenport Circle is expected by year's end.
Sanitary sewer upgrades Phase 2 and $10M state grant
The village locked in a $10 million DEC grant for Phase 3 and set up the $7.9 million Phase 2 project, awarding construction to ELQ Industries. Most of the cost is grant-funded, sparing taxpayers, and the work targets chronic downtown flooding on lower King Street.
