Congressman Langworthy Gets Funding For Woodhull

Yesterday Congressman Nick Langworthy announced he had come up with about $5 million dollars for Woodhull to replace over six miles of natural gas pipelines.  “I’m proud to announce this significant $4.9 million investment to replace miles of Woodhull’s natural gas pipelines,” said Congressman Langworthy. “Recent federal reports have uncovered our state’s failing natural gas infrastructure, yet Governor Hochul and other leaders in our state choose to ignore that New Yorkers are at risk of losing access to reliable, affordable energy. This investment will ensure that Woodhull residents have the energy security they deserve, safeguarding their access to natural gas for generations to come.”
