SCHENECTADY – Asserting the government had “backburnered” key infrastructure projects long enough, U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko, D-Amsterdam, highlighted the city’s Craig Street corridor project as a possible “model” in proposing to transform a community with input from people who live in it, starting with children.
The project is included in a new transportation bill passed by the House of Representatives. It is slated to receive $2.7 million in federal funding to facilitate its first phase. It’s overall price tag would be $4.37 million.
