📣We are proud to share some exciting news for the Town of Herkimer and the future of our community!

Governor Kathy Hochul has announced more than $38 million in funding for 49 projects across New York State through the second round of the County Infrastructure Grant Program -including $500,000 awarded to the Town of Herkimer.

This significant investment will help address critical infrastructure needs and public health concerns related to failing septic systems. The funding will support:

• 7,570 linear feet of new sewer pipe
• 3,040 linear feet of PVC force main
• A new pump station at Gros Boulevard and Pine Grove Road
• Rehabilitation of the existing pump station at Lowe’s on State Highway Route 5

These improvements represent an important investment in the health, safety and long-term sustainability of our community. By expanding sewer capacity and addressing existing infrastructure deficiencies, this project will help create opportunities for commercial growth, housing development, population retention, and future community investment.

This is more than an infrastructure project - it is an investment in the future of the Town of Herkimer and the people who live, work, and invest here. We are grateful for this funding and excited about what it means for our community in the years ahead.
