Chautauqua Lake Stormwater Improvement Project Moves Forward with New Funding
What happened
A construction bid for the Fairmount Triangle Stormwater Basin Improvements Project was submitted by N. Mathews Enterprises Inc. of Westfield. The Lakewood Village Board approved the $74,000 bid, which was the lowest offered for the work. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation administers the project, which includes a 2% matching grant from the Chautauqua County Grant.

Why it matters
The project aims to improve the quality of stormwater entering Chautauqua Lake from a 109-acre area. The scope of work includes site clearing, grubbing, engineering for shallow wetland creation, and ecological enhancement features. The trustees approved a further change order to the grant at the September 29 meeting.
