OGDENSBURG, N.Y. (WWNY) - The majority of Ogdensburgâs city council wants to wait before adding more money to a multi-million-dollar wastewater treatment plant project.
A four-to-three vote tabled the resolution for 90 days.
The resolution would authorize the city to change a contract with the company making the improvements.
Originally, the project was capped around $43.2 million dollars, but additional items would cost another $5 million.
Some councillors want to look into additional funding for those items while others want the work done sooner rather than later.
