JOHNSTOWN Fulton County on Monday took a major early step toward bringing to fruition a $29 million Route 30/30A Corridor sanitary sewer construction project from Gloversville to Mayfield and Northville.
The full Board of Supervisors endorsed the concept of the project at its monthly meeting at the County Office Building.
Board Chairman Jack Callery told the board that he and other county officials met last week locally with U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer of New York. He said the senator indicated he would “keep us in mind” for federal infrastructure funding for the sewer project.

U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer visited the Mohawk Harvest Cooperative Market in Gloversville, on Tuesday, to meet with local elected and economic development officials. Topics discussed included the $16.2 million that Schumer secured for Fulton County and its municipalities in the American Rescue Plan, and ways that it can be used to address various needs; as well as, the infrastructure needs of the Glove Cities and the county, as attention in Washington turns to an infrastructure package.
