More than $57 million in state and federal investments enabled the Beaver Creek Clean River Project here, which is expected to significantly improve the water quality of the Hudson River. Three downtown revitalization projects – the Clinton Market Collective, Clinton Avenue streetscape improvements and illumination of the Livingston Avenue Railroad Bridge Underpass – also benefited from state support.
Other grants to local organizations have gone toward a robotics competition, promotion of healthy lifestyles, scholarships, mobile dental treatment, protection against toxic chemicals, services to the homeless, business news media coverage, efforts to reduce gun violence, and many other causes.
