Where is Troy's Money??

Published reports today showed awards of millions of dollars in environmental grants to Capital District communities for everything from fixing the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception to installing park equipment. Where was the City of Troy? If we didn't submit applications; why not? If we did, what were the projects and how could we not receive an award with all the muscle available to this administration from the State Senate?

I could think of a number of worthy projects - Ingalls Ave. park at the former Jack's Junkyard, the Troy Biketrail, New boat launch and park at 111^th Street or improvements to the Troy Marina just to name a few.

The City Council should insist that the administration provide answers on why Troy was excluded from this funding opportunity. We deserve better.
