$1.7 Million in Federal Funds Awarded to Delaware County Village
U.S. Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand announced Tuesday $1.7 million in federal funds to acquire and demolish flood-damaged structures in the Village of Sidney in Delaware County, and turn them into green space.
The federal funds cover 75% of Delaware County's project to buyout and tear down the properties in this flood-prone location.
Because the damaged buildings were located in a flood hazard zone, where there was persistent and severe flooding, demolishing the structures was Delaware County's preferred plan.
