What happened
The state provided funding for infrastructure upgrades aimed at improving Lake Ontario water quality. A two-year, $16 million upgrade to the Village of Webster sewer plant was completed, improving capacity and meeting state discharge requirements. The state agency provided Webster with a $1.4 million grant and interest-free financing. Additionally, the town of Webster is wrapping up a state-assisted $87 million upgrade, which was scaled up by the addition of the fairlife milk processing facility.
