On May 29th Congressman Timothy Bishop sponsored a Water and Sewer Infrastructure Financing Seminar at SUNY Stonybrook for municipal officials from his Congressional District in Suffolk County. The event was also open to municipal officials from all of Nassau and Suffolk County who are interested in learning about funding opportunities for municipal water and wastewater projects. The afternoon seminar included speakers representing several government funding programs. Matt Millea provided an overview of the New York State Water and Sewer Infrastructure Co-Funding Initiative and spoke about EFC's two major funding programs, the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Programs. There were approximately 100 people in attendance.
