Hochul Announces Completion Of Newburgh North Interceptor Sewer Improvement Project

By Mrs. I. Perl

Governor Kathy Hochul announced today that the $31 million Newburgh North Interceptor Sewer Improvement Project is now complete. 

The project was the first one in New York State to be completed with funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The project included the construction of 8,700 feet of new, larger sewer pipes and other upgrades to strengthen the city's ability to withstand high water events, increase the system’s capacity, and reduce pollution in the Hudson River. 

“Combined with our state's unprecedented clean water investments, funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides a crucial opportunity to make significant environmental improvements that will protect public health across the state for generations to come,” Governor Hochul said. “These upgrades are vital to protecting the environment and enhancing quality of life in Newburgh, and my administration will continue to work hard to get funding out the door to help communities undertake and complete critical projects, and to do so as affordably as possible.”
