Sen. Gillibrand pushes for rail improvements
PLATTSBURGH — U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is offering legislation that would bring more money to infrastructure projects, including railroads, in border regions such as the North Country.
"From the Peace Bridge to the Thousand Islands Bridge to Rouses Point, New York state is home to some of the largest and most significant border crossings in the country, she said in a news release this week.
"When we invest in infrastructure upgrades at New York's border regions, we create new construction jobs immediately and help grow our local economies over the long term by connecting more businesses in New York to Canada. This legislation provides resources for infrastructure projects to move forward, offering flexibility to help attract more new businesses and grow our economy."
