New York local road funding has doubled
New York State Senator Pete Harckham announced on Feb. 26, 2026, that annual state funding for the maintenance and repair of local roads has almost doubled since 2019 to nearly $23 million last year, marking a major investment in local infrastructure and road safety across the district.
“Reliable state funding for our local roads and bridges is absolutely critical,” said Harckham. “Nearly doubling this funding since 2019 means safer roads, improved infrastructure, and significant relief for local taxpayers. This is a direct investment in our communities and our economy.”
