Allegany County farms receive state funding to preserve water quality

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that $16.2 million has been awarded to support agricultural water quality conservation projects across the state. More than 90 farms will benefit from the Agricultural Nonpoint Source Abatement and Control program, which provides funding to address water quality challenges in priority watersheds, such as the Finger Lakes and Susquehanna River watersheds, and protect the environment. This year, the program celebrates its 25th year of providing critical funding to support New York's farms in safeguarding the State's natural resources.
