The Town of Scriba in Oswego County and the Village of Potsdam in St. Lawrence County will use federal loans for projects focused on sewage and water.

Scriba was approved for a $15 million loan, while Potsdam will use a nearly $1.9 million loan, U.S. Senators Charles Schumer (D–N.Y.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D–N.Y.)  said.

The loans are part of nearly $38 million U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development as part of the water and waste disposal loans and grants program.
