Erie County Legislator Chris Greene (6th District) announced today that several county road projects in his district will be completed this road construction season.
“We know how tough Western New York weather is on our infrastructure. Our roads take a beating, and that creates hazardous driving conditions. This roadwork needs to be done to ensure the safety of our residents,’ said Legislator Greene. A total of $50 million dollars will be invested in Erie County roads and bridges for 2023. That includes $20.7 million from Erie County funds, $23.9 million in borrowed funds, and $5.4 million in federal aid.
