VOLNEY — The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is awarding the town of Volney a loan and grant totaling $1.7 million to help bring clean drinking water to more local residents.

U.S. Senators Charles Schumer (D–N.Y.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D–N.Y.) today announced the funding from the USDA’s Water and Waste Disposal Loan and Grant program.

The USDA is awarding Volney a federal loan worth $1.2 million and a federal grant worth $500,000 to construct a new distribution system to bring drinking water to residents in Airport Water District Extension No. 2.

This “targeted” federal investment will help Volney improve its infrastructure, enhance public health, and spare local finances, Schumer contended in a news release.

“This investment means a safer, cleaner drinking water supply is coming to the town of Volney; and the town can now use funds it otherwise would have spent on this project for other projects to benefit residents,” Schumer said.
