July 2 email from NYS Transportation Department

I've spoken with our funding person, and he advises that the construction of the project will be funded entirely through ARRA. The $2.6M noted in the press release and on the website (recovery.ny.gov) includes direct construction costs and construction inspection. The remaining funding was provided by New York State for design of the expanded facility.

I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if there's anything more you need.

Have a great holiday weekend.
