Schumer stood with students, teachers, parents and school administration as he cut the ribbon on the new Owego Elementary School. The new school was built after the former elementary school was severely damaged beyond repair in 2011 during Tropical Storm Lee. Schumer fought hard in the wake of the storm to cut through red tape at the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) – which initially put up roadblocks that threatened to hold up construction and place an immense financial burden on residents – to make the project a reality. After poking, prodding and cutting through FEMA’s red tape, including by meeting directly with the FEMA Administrator, Schumer successfully secured the $24 million in federal funding to construct the school and ensure it was built above the floodplain.</p>"}}
