NARROWSBURG –The Upper Delaware Council (UDC) presented checks to the Towns of Fremont,
Tusten, Highland, and Delaware on January 15 representing their shares of a $25,000 grant that Senator John J. Bonacic secured for the UDC’s eight New York State member towns to improve community facilities or enhance river access for the public.

Projects accomplished were:

Center;

in Narrowsburg;

The UDC received its executed contract for Grant TM09050 from the NYS Department of
Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) Contract and Grant Development Unit on March 30, 2011. The contract expiration date was August 15, 2012.

Payment requests under this phase of funding were submitted on June 25, 2012 (Fremont) and August 3, 2012 (Tusten, Highland, and Delaware).

From FY 2000 through this FY 2009-2010 grant’s completion, Senator Bonacic has secured $390,000 for Upper Delaware River Valley towns under the Aid to Localities program. He designated the UDC to serve as local administrator of those funding initiatives.

State of New York, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, eight NY towns and seven PA townships that border on the Congressionally-designated Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River. The Delaware River Basin Commission is a non-voting member.
