Steven Otis
Steve helped initiate the Water Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2015, the state grant program to assist municipalities in financing needed clean water projects. Since the creation of WIIA, the program has provided over $3.4 billion in water grants to over 1200 projects statewide: creating jobs, making environmental projects possible and making these projects more affordable for local taxpayers. Westchester communities have secured over $132 million in grants for 53 projects.

“Addressing the climate crisis requires action on all fronts. Gas-powered landscaping equipment emits a stunning amount of greenhouse gases and co-pollutants, not to mention the noise that blights communities across the state.”
(Official legislative newsroom (nyassembly.gov)) “My focus continues to be on providing tireless and effective service in addressing issues of importance to New York State, Westchester, and every community I represent. I work closely with the municipal officials, school district advocates, local not-for-profits, and every individual resident on the Sound Shore.”
