Southampton - New York State Senator
Kenneth P. LaValle said that the just passed New York State Budget includes funding for transportation, dredging and other projects in the First Senatorial District.
Several of the projects, LaValle said are part of the New York Works program that will rebuild aging infrastructure and help put our state's economy back on track.
"The NY Works Program will bring millions of dollars to the First Senatorial District for road and bridge construction, infrastructure rehabilitation and dredging projects. The State will now undertake much needed repairs and that means contracts for local companies and
jobs for local residents," Senator LaValle said.
LaValle said the projects are being funded with no new taxes or fees.
"Since last year we closed $13 billion in deficits - $10 billion last year and $3 billion this year - without raising taxes and fees," Senator LaValle said. "State government is living within the same two percent spending cap as local governments and school districts and we are doing it by controlling and reigning-in spending and reducing the size of government."
