I was pleased to announce earlier this week that $27 million is being allocated by FEMA through federal hazard mitigation grants to replace and strengthen bridges in Pleasantville and the Town of Cortlandt. Resiliency is key to helping our first responders do their jobs and keep our families safe in the face of natural disasters. These federal dollars will help ensure that roads and bridges can withstand another storm on the magnitude of Superstorm Sandy, while creating jobs and reducing the local infrastructure burden on taxpayers. As the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, I fought hard to secure the $60 billion Sandy Aid package to help communities, businesses, and homeowners recover and rebuild. I will continue to make sure that the recovery and resiliency needs in communities throughout New York are met.
