Liz Montgomery reports for Porcupine Soup that the Village of Athens was chosen along with 26 other municipalities to participate in a state program to upgrade wastewater infrastructure facilities. "The State's Asset Management Program advances resources and expertise to help municipal leaders establish robust programs to maintain and upgrade essential wastewater infrastructure systems," Governor Kathy Hochul said on Oct. 7. "By evaluating flood resilience needs, these local asset management programs will help our communities mitigate the effects of climate change and better prepare for the future." Funding for the program comes from New York's Clean Water Infrastructure Act. Read more about this story at the Porcupine Soup website.
