The new Clubhouse will enable the Akwesasne Boys & Girls Club to continue offering its vital afterschool, summer, athletic, and meal programs in a safe, modern, and accessible space. “Investing in the youth of the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe is investing in the future of the North Country, and I am proud to deliver this $1 million in funding to boost the community, its families, and most importantly the children of the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe,” said Senator Schumer. “These funds will help finally begin construction of the community gathering space the Akwesasne Boys & Girls Club has long deserved for afterschool and other essential youth programs. I will always fight to deliver meaningful, community driven investments to uplift the future of our children in Upstate New York.” “Fostering a sense of community and support is vital to helping our youth get off on the right foot. The Boys & Girls Clubs of America has a proven track record of doing just that and preparing young people across New York State to achieve their full potential,” said Senator Gillibrand. “This $1,000,000 will kick-start the building of a safe and modern community center for Mohawk youth and provide them with the indispensable opportunities they deserve.

The Village of Greenwich’s wastewater treatment plant is at the end of its useful life and is in an advanced state of deterioration.

The proposed facility will have an anticipated lifespan of at least 60 years and will have built-in redundancies and room for future expansion. “For far too long the Village of Greenwich’s aging wastewater treatment facility has needed serious upgrades, and I am proud to deliver this major $4.4 million federal investment to finally replace and expand the wastewater treatment plant to move this project forward without the burden having to fall on local taxpayers,” said Senator Schumer. “I will always to fight tooth and nail to keep our water systems flowing, jobs growing, and New Yorkers safe and healthy.” “The Village of Greenwich’s existing wastewater treatment facility serves a key role in protecting the environment but it is nearing the end of its useful life,” said Senator Gillibrand. “I am proud to have helped secure this $4.4 million in funding, which will enable Greenwich to build a new, modern wastewater treatment plant that will ensure our state’s waterways remain clean now and into the future.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z

On the heels of his historic CHIPS and Science Bill becoming law, which is already drawing major semiconductor investment to Central New York, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer today is launching a new push to limit the use of semiconductor chips made in China, including in supply chains for the Defense Department, in order to strengthen national security, bring critical semiconductor manufacturing back from overseas, and limit foreign dominance of the global microchip market. Schumer revealed that major Chinese companies, with known links to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), are actively selling microchips to companies that do business with the federal government, and suppliers to those businesses, which makes the U.S. government more vulnerable to cyberattacks and the exfiltration of information by foreign competitors, and potentially puts New Yorkers’ data at risk.

On the heels of his historic CHIPS and Science Bill becoming law, which is already drawing major semiconductor investment to Upstate New York, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E.

Standing at Albany Nanotech, Schumer revealed that major Chinese companies, with known links to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), are actively selling microchips to companies that do business with the federal government, and suppliers to those businesses, which makes the U.S. government more vulnerable to cyberattacks and the exfiltration of information by foreign competitors, and potentially puts New Yorkers’ data at risk.

This is a historic day for Ulster County and a major milestone as we revitalize the former Tech City site in Ulster County, transforming it to iPark87 and creating thousands of good-paying jobs,” said Senator Schumer. “I congratulate the work of the EPA, former county executive and now Congressman Pat Ryan in partnership with the county and town to bring this transformational moment to fruition.” “This is a huge step for the Hudson Valley as we continue to make crucial investments to propel our region into the 21st century economy and create good-paying local jobs,” said Representative Pat Ryan. “I want to thank Senator Schumer, the EPA and our partners in county and town government for their work on this project, which I have helped champion since my time as County Executive. Due to their tireless work, iPark87 is poised to be a shining example of the Hudson Valley’s economic resurgence.” "EPA has removed the last piles of asbestos-contaminated material from this site, reclaiming this area for new economic activity," said EPA Regional Administrator Lisa F. Garcia. "This marks a milestone for the Town of Ulster, following a process that saw officials from New York State and Ulster County take a prominent role in working with EPA to find a solution that clears the way for businesses to move forward with new construction and renovation projects.

The senator wrote to Transportation Secretary Buttigieg to advocate on the Port of Oswego’s behalf. Schumer said this critical new equipment will help the Port significantly improve its ability to load and unload containers, both on cargo ships and rail, greatly improving local operations and helping ease supply chain disruptions. "With this new equipment, the Port of Oswego will become an even greater hub for the movement of goods throughout the Eastern Great Lakes,” said Senator Schumer. “This new low emissions reach stacker will allow heavy cargo shipments to more easily unload at Oswego and send their goods off to market across the globe. The world class reputation of the Port of Oswego keeps getting stacked higher and higher, and I proud to deliver the federal funding to help grow the Port’s operations in the region, ease our supply chain issues, and increase the strength of the Port’s infrastructure to keep their presence strong in Central New York for generations to come.” William Scriber, Executive Director of Port of Oswego said, “The purchase of this critical piece of equipment will allow the Port to create a more resilient transportation system by offering containerized cargo service will help relieve the strain on our landside transportation networks and increase the supply chain resiliency to assure the reliability and capacity for the mobility of goods.

The “Commission To Study the Potential Creation of a National Museum of Asian Pacific American History and Culture Act,” which was introduced by Meng, shepherded through the Senate by Schumer, and signed into law in June, established a commission of eight individuals with various expertise in museum planning or Asian Pacific American history and culture to examine the feasibility of establishing, maintaining, funding and operating such a facility in the nation’s capital, possibly as part of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.. The commission is responsible for submitting a report with recommendations to the President and Congress on the potential creation of a museum. Congress would then need to act on those recommendations to establish the museum. “After successfully pushing to establish a commission on the creation of the first national museum dedicated to Asian American history and culture, I am proud to appoint New Yorkers Joanne Kwong and Kevin Kim as commissioners,” said U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer. “Ms. Kwong and Mr. Kim are wonderful leaders in their communities, and for all New York, and their personal and professional experiences will be beneficial to the commission and its goals as outlined by Congress.” “From our nation’s earliest days, Asian Americans have played a profound role in shaping America.

Schumer explained that rural hospitals just had some of their harshest years yet due to the pandemic, and that the Low-Volume Hospital (LVH) and Medicare-Dependent Hospital (MDH) Programs are essential to these hospitals continuing to provide care in underserved rural areas due to a lower volume of patients and a higher percentage of Medicare beneficiaries. Schumer said that if the program is not revived, providers like Noyes Health would lose over $7.5 million over the coming decade, resulting in increased operating costs, reduced care and greater wait times putting lives at risk.

Schumer today announced that he has successfully secured $28,222,897 to go towards New York State's work in overhauling and completely revamping the Rhinecliff Train Station to give Hudson Valley commuters the modern accessible station they have desperately needed. Schumer explained that for more than fifteen years the Rhinecliff Station –one of New York’s busiest– has been in severe disrepair and missed out on opportunities for federal grants and critical infrastructure upgrades because of property disputes leading to bureaucratic red tape. In early 2020, Schumer began fighting to secure the federal dollars needed for Amtrak and New York State to finally undertake federally mandated ADA-compliant infrastructure upgrades and modernizations the station required for its hundreds of thousands of commuters each year. Now, thanks to Schumer’s relentless advocacy, the station will finally be able to replace the existing 520-foot-long low-level platform with a new, longer safer high-level platform, along with other much-needed infrastructure and accessibility upgrades to give Dutchess County and Hudson Valley residents the commute they deserve. “All aboard and full steam ahead for a brand new Rhinecliff Train Station.

Schumer broke down how this historic deal will touch every corner of New York, helping to lower costs for families who need it most, creating thousands of new clean energy jobs, including by bringing manufacturing back to America, all while reducing the deficit by $300 billion. Schumer said this bill is a once-in-a-generation opportunity with Upstate New York primed to reap the rewards with thousands of new, good paying manufacturing and clean energy jobs powering the future of American energy independence, other investments in fighting the climate crisis, and lower healthcare costs for over 3.7 million seniors in New York on Medicare. “It has been a long, tough and winding road, New York, and I am back from DC to tell you: at last we have arrived. After more than a year of hard work—the Senate made history and I am confident the Inflation Reduction Act will endure as one of the defining legislative feats of the twenty-first century: our bill reduces inflation, lowers costs, creates millions of good-paying jobs, and is the boldest climate package in US history—and New York State and New Yorkers are primed to reap the harvest of these investments and costs savings,” said U.S. Sen… 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z
