“As someone who lives in this great Suffolk County community, I can attest that the Forge River Sewer Project is critical to our quality of life," Zeldin said.
A nearly $224 million sewer project will reduce nitrogen pollution and expand economic development by eliminating about 1,890 cesspools and septic systems in the Mastic-Shirley area of Long Island. Still, environmentalists want more.
"Today we break ground on a historic sewer project that will both improve water quality in the Forge River and attract new investment to the Mastic community," Bellone said.
