Rivertowns Gets Boost in State Infrastructure Aid

Rivertowns villages, and 10 other municipalities in the 35^th New York State Senate District, will get a little extra help this year with funding infrastructure improvements.

“After several years of stagnant funding of CHIPS [Consolidated Highway Improvements Funds], this is welcome news for the localities here in Westchester County that have been struggling to provide much needed improvements to our aging infrastructure, while at the same time keeping property taxes under control,” said New York State Sen. Andrea Stewart-Cousins. 

The Democratic Conference Leader announced that her district will get an additional $939,793 in CHIPS aid in the 2013-14 budget.

“I was pleased to support this portion of the budget that will improve the quality of life of our residents by making our communities more safe and helping to alleviate the property tax burden,” said Stewart-Cousins.

The funding will be distributed among the river villages in the following amounts:

• Ardsley - $104,628, an additional $22,150
• Dobbs Ferry -  $111,171, an additional $23,522
• Hastings-on-Hudson - $139,514, an additional $29,699
• Irvington - $93,952, an additional $19,044

Westchester County will receive $2,726,112, an additional $164,429
