SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — So far this year, the City of Schenectady has already paved 8.5 centerline miles of roadway, with an additional 5.5 centerline miles scheduled before the end of the year. In total, we are scheduled to pave more miles of roadway this year than any year in the past decade.

And thanks to our state leaders Governor Kathy Hochul and Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara, the City of Schenectady is slated to receive a record $4 million in the 2022-23 state budget to support the continued repair and rehabilitation of local streets.

As part of the 2022-2023 state budget, the City of Schenectady is slated to receive: $1.4 million in funding through the Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS); $400,000 in PAVE-NY funding; $267,000 in Extreme Winter Recovery funding; another $267,000 through the Pave Our Potholes program; and $1.6 million in State Touring Route funding.

We are grateful for the dedication and commitment of our state leaders who are fighting for local communities like Schenectady.
