New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has announced $85 million in funding for projects that will help the state hit its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 85% by 2050, the New York Daily News reports.
The lion's share of the funding, $7 million, is going to a consortium of municipalities and agencies in the tri-state area, including the Village of Ossining.
According to the Journal News, the three-year, $7 million Project MOVER grant will go toward electrifying trucks and buses, improving access to clean mobility options, and reducing air pollution.
