MAY 21, 2021 — 

The Following Federal grant opportunities were provided by Jonathan Carmon from Elise Stefanik’s office. I immediately forwarded them to DPW and highway department as well as our town supervisors. Thank you Jonathan! (If we were to get just ONE of these grants we would be nearly funded, and could start fund raising!)
