Handyman Insurance, NYS Awards $564,000 in Grants for Water Resiliency Projects
The grants will help to further the Hudson River Estuary’s 2010-2014 agenda to conserve, protect and revitalize the waterway, DEC says. The New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) Hudson River Estuary Program has issued 12 grants worth a combined total of $564,000 for water resiliency projects in NYS. The funding comes after Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee both rocked the region in 2011, says DEC, which is working in partnership with the non-profit New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC) on the grant program.
