The town of Ellicott has been awarded a $403,000 grant and the City of Dunkirk an $11.3 million loan for drinking water and wastewater projects.
The funding was approved by the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation Board of Directors as part of more than $83 million dollars for drinking water and wastewater projects across New York State. The funding includes grants, interest-free financings, and low-cost financings that provide cost-effective solutions for critical infrastructure projects across the state that protect or improve water quality.
Ellicott will use the $403,800 grant for the rehabilitation of a 150,000-gallon water storage tank and associated upgrades.
The City of Dunkirk will receive $11,387,000 in long-term, interest-free financing for the planning, design and construction of the city’s water pollution control project.
