Schumer | S000148 | www.schumer.senate.gov | schumer | https://www.schumer.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases | scraper | After Senators Delivered Increase In Funding For NBRC Compared To Previous Years, Upstate NY Receives Largest NBRC Annual Investment To Date Projects Will Fix Aging North Country Infrastructure, Train Workers For In-Demand Careers, Boost Outdoor Recreation, Increase Tourism And More U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand today announced $5.8 million in federal funding for twelve projects across the North Country and Upstate New York through the Northern Border Regional Commission (NBRC). Schumer and Gillibrand said this represents the NBRC’s largest annual investment in New York to date, thanks to the increase in funding they were able to secure for the NBRC in the Fiscal Year 2022 appropriations bill. The senators said these projects will help address critical needs across the region, including fixing aging infrastructure, training workers for good-paying jobs, increasing tourism, and accelerating the economic recovery of Main Streets across Upstate New York. “From Plattsburgh to Canton and beyond, I am proud to help deliver this $5.8 million job creating federal investment through the Northern Border Regional Commission. This funding will upgrade the North Country’s infrastructure, train workers for in-demand careers, increase tourism and help breathe new life into our main streets to accelerate Upstate New York’s economic revitalization,” said Senator Schumer. “This boost in investment for North Country and Upstate New York projects through the NBRC is a direct result of the increased funding I fought for in the annual budget, and even more investment will be on its way with the additional surge of funding to the NBRC I included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure and Jobs Law. This federal support is also why I am fighting to reauthorize and expand the NBRC to deliver further federal resources to address some of the North Country’s and Upstate NY’s most pressing challenges from job creation and small business investment to healthcare and broadband so the region has what it needs to prosper.” “I’m proud to help deliver this largest-ever annual investment from the Northern Border Regional Commission to Upstate New York,” said Senator Gillibrand. “This funding will help communities across Upstate rebuild their infrastructure, provide critical job training in in-demand fields, and revitalize our tourism industry. I have long fought to bring federal investment to the North Country and Upstate New York, and I’ll keep fighting to make sure our communities have the resources they need to thrive.” A full list of awarded project can be found below: From 2010-2021 the NBRC has invested in more than 60 projects, totaling over $23 million in federal funding for Upstate New York that has leveraged over $113 million in matching funds. Today’s announcement builds on this investment adding another 12 projects with $5.8 million in federal investment for Upstate New York and over $11.5 million in matching funds. Schumer and Gillibrand have a long history of championing the Northern Border Regional Commission and its positive economic impacts on the North Country and Upstate New York. In addition to successfully increasing the agency’s annual appropriations in the Fiscal Year 2022 spending bill, they also successfully secured $150 million for the NBRC, over triple its funding from previous years, as part of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The senators are also pushing to reauthorize and expand the NBRC for at least another 10 years, introducing the Northern Border Regional Commission (NBRC) Reauthorization Act of 2022 earlier this year. The bill would also increase the annual appropriation cap for the NBRC from $33 million to $50 million for the first 5 years, and to $60 million for the following 5 years. The bill also makes critical enhancements to the range of projects the NBRC is able to support including investing in childcare and health care needs, housing, combating substance use disorders from opioid and methamphetamine use, and strengthening climate resiliency projects. Established in 2008, the NBRC is a federal-state partnership focused on the economic revitalization of communities across the Northern Border region, which includes New York, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. The Commission is composed of the governors of the four Northern Border states and a federal co-chair, and provides financial and technical assistance to communities in the region to support entrepreneurs, improve water, broadband, and transportation infrastructure, and promote other initiatives to improve the region’s economy. The northern border region of New York State includes 28 counties: Cayuga, Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Genesee, Greene, Hamilton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Livingston, Madison, Montgomery, Niagara, Oneida, Orleans, Oswego, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Seneca, St. Lawrence, Sullivan, Washington, Warren, Wayne, and Yates. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |
