Dunkirk Mayor Willie Rosas, U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer, Dunkirk Director of Development Vince DeJoy<\/p><\/div>\n

U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer<\/strong> touted $10 million in funding for waterfront infrastructure projects in Dunkirk Thursday.<\/p>\n

Schumer, in a visit to the Dunkirk harbor, said that the funding is part of the Fiscal Year 2022 omnibus<\/strong>, which includes $8 million in funding for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers<\/strong>, “There’s $1.1 million for Barcelona Harbor<\/strong>. There’s $1 million for Cattaraugus Creek<\/strong> and $5.9 million for Dunkirk Harbor<\/strong>. Why is Dunkirk Harbor so much more? Cause every body will be dredged. You know the silt has really just gathered up and it hasn’t been cleared for a very long time. So we’re doing that in all three harbors. But in addition, in Dunkirk harbor they’re going to work on the breakwater, which we’ve needed for a long time and it’s so important for keeping this harbor strong and vital.”<\/p>\n

Schumer said $2 million also will go to the Village of Mayville<\/strong> to construct a new water well, replacing existing contaminated wells.<\/p>\n

He added that former mentor and Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan<\/strong> always decried the fact that New York state always sent more tax dollars to Washington D.C. then it received back, “He called us a ‘donor state.’ However, this is the first year that we are getting more dollars back than we sent. For every dollar we sent to Washington, we’re getting $1.59 back. That’s the first time every and that’s why having a Majority Leader from New York State is a darn good thing.”<\/p>\n

When asked where things are with the Federal Infrastructure Bill<\/strong>, Schumer said that bill has now been signed with money becoming available in September 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
