On March 19, 2018, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer stood with local officials and construction workers to push his infrastructure plan which could be key to addressing the Capital Region’s water and sewer infrastructure and the future of the Livingston Avenue Bridge. Schumer said advancing construction projects like these could create hundreds of jobs and would provide a much-needed boost to the Capital Region economy. In addition to the jobs created. Schumer highlighted how addressing the Capital Region’s water and sewer infrastructure needs would also improve the environment and health of the Hudson River. The region’s current sewer infrastructure is so old and outdated that it combines storm water with sewage, and when heavy rain hits the region millions of gallons of raw sewage is discharged into the Hudson River.
