Utica will get $2 million for asbestos abatement work at the former General Electric facility at 1900 Bleeker St., according to a news release from Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office announcing the state funding.
Canajoharie will receive $6 million to tear down the abandoned and condemned warehouse space at the former Beech-Nut facility. That will create a 15-acre site ready for development, the release said.
Rome will get $1 million for demolition of the former Rome Cable plant downtown. The money will also pay for remediation for the site, the release said, creating a “clean 40-acre development site for future investment.”
“With our support, cities and towns are tearing down vacant, blighted buildings and rehabilitating outdated structures to help revitalize their community and generate new economic opportunities,” said Howard Zemsky, the president and CEO of Empire State Development.
