SHERBURNE – The New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation recently announced it would be providing $32 million in interest-free financing to 11 communities in New York state, including one in Chenango County.

The Village of Sherburne will receive financing for a $1.95 million water project. The funds, provided through the New York Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, will finance the cost of a new ground water source, transmission, a storage tank, and upgrades to the distribution system.

“The project addressed issues of inadequate supply and storage capacity, pumping equipment failure and aged and undersized distribution mains,” according to the EFC web site.
