SCHUMER DELIVERS NEARLY $11 MILLION FOR SYRACUSE & CENTRAL NEW YORK THROUGH INFLATION REDUCTION ACT FOR THOUSANDS OF NEW TREES ACROSS CNY, CREATING GOOD PAYING JOBS FOR YOUTH, MAKING COMMUNITY GREENER, AND PLANTING THE SEEDS FOR A BRIGHTER, CLEANER FUTURE FOR CNY'S NEIGHBORHOODS

Press Release

"Central NY, put on your work gloves, get out your shovels and get ready to dig in because nearly $11 million is on the way to help plant thousands of new trees and help youth make our communities cleaner and greener for all. Investing in helping green spaces in our neighborhoods grow not only improves quality of life and air quality, it increases property values, decreases temperatures and so much more. It is how you plant the seeds for a brighter future. I fought hard to plant this funding in the Inflation Reduction Act so that places like Syracuse, Auburn, and other cities across Central New York, could have access to the funding they have long needed to breathe new life into our most underserved neighborhoods. Now a greener, healthier, and more equitable Central NY can finally take root and blossom."
