Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton spearheaded Legislative approval of an intermunicipal agreement (IMA) that will deliver $1.725 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funding to make it more affordable for Sea Cliff property owners to connect to the Village’s newly expanded sanitary sewer system.

The County will use the funding to provide up to $7,500 to each of the 230 residential and commercial property owners who can now connect to the sewer system. This federal funding is in addition to approximately $3 million in state grants and approximately $1 million in village resources that were invested in the sewer expansion.

Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton is gratified that the County has agreed to invest a significant amount of ARPA funds in a program that will help property owners pay for improvements that will deliver tremendous environmental, economic, and quality of life benefits.
