(October 5, 2007) Gillibrand Votes for Investment in North Country Communities | Print |
Glens Falls, NY - Yesterday, local Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand (Greenport-NY) voted in support of legislation that would create a Northern Border Regional Commission stretching for New York to Maine.  H.R. 3246, the Regional Economic and Infrastructure Development Act, will provide a source of funding for job creation, important infrastructure improvements and deployment of critical energy and technology infrastructure for the North Country.

"This is a very important piece of legislation that will have a tremendous impact on our North Country communities," said the Congresswoman, a Member of the House Committee on Agriculture.  "This type of program will improve the lives of our neighbors here in the North Country."

This legislation will create a Northern Border Regional Commission that would be a Federal-State partnership whereby money allocated from the Federal government will be matched with funding from State, public and private sources.  All projects submitted for funding have to meet the goal of regional development. 
The program is authorized for five years.
