New York Governor Kathy Hochul has committed $3.75 billion for clean water infrastructure.
In her proposed fiscal year 2027 budget, the Democrat highlighted that since taking office in 2021, she has invested nearly $10 billion in energy affordability to fight climate change.
For more details on how this proposed funding will support communities with aging infrastructure and toxic chemicals in their water supply, I spoke with Rob Hayes, Environmental Advocates NY’s Senior Director of Clean Water.
The state budget is due April 1st.
