NYS agencies are hosting a series of listening sessions on the Bond Act. Attend and find out more about this once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect our coastal communities, combat climate change, preserve open space, upgrade our outdated drinking water and wastewater infrastructure, and support a green economy. There will also be an opportunity to weigh in with your ideas on how to best use this funding! Click here to register for a listening session.

The $4.2 billion Clean Water, Clean Air, and Green Jobs Bond Act was approved by voters last November. This funding will allow our state to undertake urgently needed environmental improvement projects that are vital to New York’s future and provide necessary and overdue investments to solve pressing public health and environmental problems.

Funding from the Bond Act will:

• Protect drinking water and upgrade outdated infrastructure

• Safeguard communities from flooding and extreme weather

• Conserve open space and family farms

• Fight climate change

• Advance environmental justice

• Strengthen New York’s economy and create over 100,000 jobs
