“I am excited to see the Village of Canastota has been awarded $4.5 million for its successful application to the NY Forward Program, and I was proud to write a letter of support for the application. Today's announcement of the second round of funding is a game-changer, showing dedication to a vibrant community while enhancing the economy, recreation and the overall quality of life for all residents. The village is poised to accomplish this while maintaining its historical Erie Canal charm. Hats off to the village for its relentless pursuit of crucial funding to fortify the community on behalf of its residents. Thank you to Gov. Kathy Hochul and to everyone involved who made securing this funding a possibility,” said Miller.
