Goal: Repair Aging Sewer Plant

SEWARD BRINGS

$2M TO VILLAGE

State Sen. Jim Seward, R-Milford, enters the Cooperstown Village Board meeting room this morning, where he announced a $2 million grant to help repair the half-century-old water treatment plant on the Susquehanna River. Seward’s $2 million comes two months after Assemblyman Bill Magee, D-Nelson, announced another $2 million grant for the project.  Mayor Jeff Katz said, with the help of Otsego Now COO Sandy Mathes, another $3.5 million state Enviromental Facilities Corp. grant may be forthcoming in the spring, plus a zero-percent, 30-year loan, that will save another half-million. This should allow the project to be done with no hike to rate users, particularly important to Bassett Hospital, whose bill covers 30 percent of the sewer revenues. Seward is shaking hands with Village Trustee Richard Sternberg.  In the foreground are Anders Bergfjord, Water & Sewer Commission chair, right, and Village Trustee Jim Dean.   (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com)
