State Senator Michelle Hinchey was included in the press release for the funding announcement, saying, “Our local roads are essential to a thriving economy and public safety, and these substantial investments will have a direct impact on improving the infrastructure people rely on every day while also ensuring that the costs of upgrades don’t fall on local municipalities.” Read more about this story at Porcupine Soup.
