The Village of Middleburgh is very pleased to announce that Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (NY-21) has nominated the Village’s Clauverwie Water Infrastructure Improvement Project for more than $1 million in Community Project Funding.
If ultimately awarded this funding, the Village will be able to replace our failing water infrastructure along Clauverwie Road in addition to upgrading our sidewalks. Our partners at Schoharie County have pledged to repave the street in conjunction with this project.
Nomination is just the first step in the process. The Clauverwie Water Infrastructure Improvement Project now needs to make its way through the House Appropriations Committee and finally the whole House of Representatives and the United States Senate before heading to President Donald Trump’s desk.
“Although this process has a long way to go until it reaches final approval in Congress, we are cautiously optimistic about this project being fully funded,” stated Village Mayor Timothy Knight. He continued, “I am very appreciative to Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and her office for their support of Middleburgh.”
Mayor Knight prepared the Community Project Funding request for the Village, and we received letters of support from New York State Assemblyman Chris Tague, Schoharie County Administrator Bryan Best, Town of Middleburgh Supervisor John Youmans, and Clauverwie residents Charlie and Jeanne Rozumalski, Kellie and Thomas Rogers, and Stephanie Proctor.
