State officials said the upgraded wastewater treatment plant will enhance Lake George\u2019s water quality and continue the Village\u2019s efforts to reduce nutrient pollution that can trigger harmful algae growth in the lake\u2019s famously clear waters. The project will have an estimated cost of $24 million.<br \/>\nBartholomew said EDC expressed gratitude to the Lake George environmental organizations including Eric Siy and The Fund for Lake George, Lake George Park Commission and the Lake George Waterkeeper Chris Navitsky, for their leadership and hard work in drawing attention through education and generating private donations to the cause.<br \/>\n\u201cEDC is proud to have participated as one voice with these important and forward-looking groups for the betterment of Lake George, Warren County and the Adirondacks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York state will provide an additional $9.4 million in grants to the Village of Lake George to repair and upgrade its wastewater collection infrastructure to help preserve the water quality and natural beauty of Lake George.
