Standing outside of Mount Vernon City Hall with officials and impacted residents, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer and U.S. Representative Jamaal Bowman (NY-16) today announced that following their direct advocacy they each have secured $1.5 million in federal funding, for a total of $3 million, to accelerate the desperately needed upgrades of Mount Vernon’s water and sewage infrastructure. The lawmakers explained that Mount Vernon is in the midst of a sewage crisis, with aging wastewater infrastructure rapidly degrading in many areas, causing health concerns for residents, environmental damage with sewage overflows polluting nearby waterways, and causing sewage to back up into hundreds of homes, devastating families and leaving residents traumatized.
