Sarah Trafton is reporting for Columbia-Greene Media the residential community Sleepy Hollow Lake will use state financing to upgrade its sewer plant in 2020. Sleepy Hollow encompasses 2,200 acres in Athens and Coxsackie with a two and a half-mile man-made lake at the center. It was approved for a short-term loan of $5.25 million making Sleepy Hollow the first private community to receive funding from New York’s Environmental Facilities Corporation Clean Water State Revolving Fund Financing. “The community is thrilled to be able to receive funding through this program, especially with all of our redevelopment efforts. We’re relieved that our wastewater treatment plant will be able to handle any upcoming growth," said Sleepy Hollow Lake Association Manager Laurel Wolfe. Sleepy Hollow is drafting plans for the project with the hope of starting construction next year, she said. The community also received a $10 million line of credit from the Bank of Greene County for infrastructure improvements. Read the full story at HudsonValley360 [dot] com.
