NYS Gives Town $343,000 For Infrastructure Work To Protect Lake George Water Quality

Posted onJuly 11, 2018July 12, 2018
People enjoy Million Dollar Beach on Lake George. The state has awarded a $343,000 grant to upgrade wastewater collection infrastructure to protect the lake’s water quality.

New York state has awarded a $343,000 grant to the town of Lake George to repair and upgrade wastewater collection infrastructure and to protect the water quality of Lake George. 

The funding is provided through the $2.5 billion Clean Water Infrastructure Act and is part of the state’s ongoing efforts to improve water quality statewide.

“I enthusiastically supported the Clean Water Infrastructure Act to help small communities that lack sufficient financial resources fund important projects just like this one,” said Sen. Betty Little. “Investing in infrastructure that protects our lakes and rivers has so many benefits and will pay dividends for local residents and bolster our tourism-based economy for many years to come. So many visitors are attracted to our region for the beauty and quality of our waterways.”

GE To Dismantle Its Fort Edward Building; No Plans Yet For Future Use Of The Property

Posted onJuly 11, 2018July 12, 2018

By Jill Nagy

The last vestige of General Electric Co.’s  manufacturing presence in Washington County will soon disappear when work is completed demolishing the last building of the manufacturing plant on Route 4 in Fort Edward.

The plant in Fort Edward was built in 1942 and used for manufacture of motors and, later on, industrial capacitors. It was also the source of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) used in the manufacture of the capacitors. General Electric recently spent several years and millions of dollars to dredge those PCBs from the Hudson River.

A nearby manufacturing site in Hudson Falls has also been stripped of its buildings. That operation was discontinued several years ago and the building was removed last year.

“You just need enough weight to hold up the ball,” said Werner,.

He said there is a smaller Knockerball for kids ages 8 through 12 and an extra large for above-average sized adults.
