Story from the Daily Freeman 31 July 2018:
The town is seeking a $750,000 grant from the state Office of
Community Renewal to address longstanding problems that have prevented
the Phoenicia Water District from working efficiently.
The application was submitted last week.
“We’ve run into some issues during the environmental review,”
Shandaken Supervisor Robert Stanley said. “Doing an archeological
survey, we found some bedrock, which may need to be blasted. We also ran
into some issues with the water line crossing the Woodland Valley
bridge, so we had to retract the previous grant and close that one out.”
The additional work has resulted in the town seeking nearly
$300,000 more than the amount of a grant awarded nearly three years ago.
