Congressman Williams is proud to announce federal funding projects vital to New York's 22nd Congressional District that he has submitted for FY25. These projects will return taxpayer dollars to serve municipalities, families, and local institutions in Central New York and the Mohawk Valley.
Each year, Members of the House are allowed to submit a limited number of discretionary program requests to the House Appropriations Committee for projects in need of federal funding. Below you will find Congressman Williams' funding request submissions, as they are made available.
Project Submissions
Proposed Recipient: Village of New York Mills
Project Title: Police Station Addition; Municipal Office Complex Renovations; ADA Compliance Activities
Recipient Address: Municipal Office Complex, 1 Maple Street, New York Mills, NY 13417
Amount Requested: $711,880.00
Project Description: Project to include adding a second story to Police Station, new ADA compliant bathrooms, add a ladies locker room within the new construction of a 2nd story over the Police Station. This addition will be built with steel framing, insulation, windows, facade, exterior brick to match existing building first floor and new facades as well as a new roof. Regarding the Village Offices, a new roof, new HVAC, updated interior surfaces, extensive bathroom work, comprehensive ADA compliant upgrades and other renovations are urgently needed.
Purpose: Without congressional funding, this project cannot proceed, and the village will continue to have a deteriorating Municipal Office Complex, with no feasible way to retain female officers to assist in community policing and the other negative effects of a leaking roof and a defunct HVAC system. ADA non-compliance will also not be resolved. The situation in New York Mills is current, urgent and our top priority, with no local means of funding, as over half of the village population are low or low-moderate income.

Proposed Recipient: Town of Westmoreland
Project Title: Tindall Water Line Replacement
Recipient Address: 100 Station Road, P.O. Box 310, Westmoreland, NY 13490
Amount Requested: $2,000,000
Project Description: The Tindall Water District services one-hundred-fifty-one users (151). The water lines were originally installed in the 1950's. These lines were constructed from a transit material which includes asbestos. The Town of Westmoreland used the funding received from the Federal Government (SLFRF) to begin the process of replacing the transit lines. The Town has completed approximately one-third of the District in the most occupied areas. It was the Town's objective to complete the removal of the old lines in the entire District; and turn the District over to Mohawk Valley Water Authority; however the remaining costs were prohibitive.
Purpose: The Mohawk Valley Water Authority (MVWA) has agreed to assume the Tindall Water District if the Town can replace all the transit water lines in the District. The Town used funds received from the Federal Government (SLFRF) to begin the project. Approximately one-third of the lines in the District have already been replaced. The Town of Westmoreland has received quotes estimating the remaining lines will require an additional $2,000,000.00 to complete. Removing all the old asbestos lines would help remove any risk of contamination and provide for healthier drinking water for the residents. Completion of this project would also allow the Town of Westmoreland to be removed as the intermediary between the residents and MVWA.

Proposed Recipient: Community Memorial Hospital
Project Title: Improving Access to Quality and Affordable Healthcare - Cazenovia Urgent Care Center - Community Memorial Hospital
Recipient Address: 150 Broad St. Hamilton, NY 13346
Amount Requested: $1,987,500.00
Project Description: The proposed urgent care facility expansion in Cazenovia, New York, offers a range of direct benefits to the state and the selected counties, including economic development, health and welfare, safety and security, racial and social equity, and geographic equity. If this request is granted, success will be measured by job creation, revenue generation, healthcare access, disease prevention, emergency preparedness, geographic equity, and community engagement rates.
Purpose: The purpose of this request to improve access to healthcare in rural Cazenovia, a small town in Upstate NY. Residents in the NY 22nd Congressional District will benefit from the urgent care facility project through improved access to timely and quality healthcare services. With the establishment of a second urgent care location in Cazenovia, residents will no longer need to travel long distances to neighboring towns for urgent medical care. This increased accessibility will result in shorter wait times for treatment, quicker diagnoses, and better management of medical conditions. Additionally, the presence of the facility will contribute to the overall health and well-being of residents, leading to a healthier and more resilient community.
