Assenblywoman Russell: North Country gets $90.2 million for economic development

I am so very pleased to be a member of the North Country Regional Economic Development Council, which has just been awarded 90.2 million dollars in the second round of Regional Economic Development Council awards.  The Council worked extremely hard in developing a proposal that creates jobs, brings new housing to the Fort Drum area, and continues to deliver in terms of business development and economic growth to the entire region. This culminates the second consecutive year of success for the North Country Economic Development Council. Thank you to everyone who participated in the process and especially to those businesses and organizations who submitted excellent projects for our consideration.
