Today, Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23) announced a significant development for the Town of Friendship. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded a $2 million grant to the town as part of the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (STAG). This funding aims to improve the town’s drinking water system.
“I’m proud to deliver this $2 million federal investment to the Town of Friendship to replace outdated, failing water infrastructure,” said Congressman Langworthy. “Since securing the earmark last year, I’ve been pushing to get this grant across the finish line — and now it’s happening. This funding will allow Friendship to replace leaking, undersized water mains and build a new storage tank, giving residents access to clean, dependable drinking water for generations. This is exactly the kind of smart federal investment our rural communities need and deserve.”
The funding was secured through H. Res. 4366, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, which became law in March 2024.
