## Resource

Senator Chuck Schumer’s surprise visit to Plattsburgh signals a major breakthrough as the town joins the Lake Champlain Basin Program, unlocking federal funding for critical infrastructure repairs. Two years ago, a storm exposed crumbling Cold War-era pipes and roads, damaging 21 miles of vital water and sewer lines — a crisis threatening drinking water and lake recreation. With a $650,000 Army Corps study now underway (town kicking in $50K), officials aim to map underground damage with cameras and build a case for full federal repair funding — safeguarding both public health and the local economy that depends on clean Lake Champlain.
