Grant FundingUtilitiesDetected Jul 8, 2026

The Town of Hume has scheduled a July 8, 2026 public hearing to discuss community development needs and a potential Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application for a major water system project. The Town plans to apply to the NYS Office of Community Renewal for approximately 2000000 in 2026 CDBG funds to extend public water service to the Wiscoy-Rossburg area, including installation of new water mains, water services, and water meters. This is an early planning and grant-application stage; no engineering or construction vendors are named and the Town is still shaping its proposal with citizen input through July 11, 2026.For utility contractors, waterworks suppliers, engineering firms, and meter/AMI vendors, this indicates a likely upcoming design and construction program once funding is secured. A useful next conversation would focus on helping the Town refine scope, budgeting, and implementation options that align with CDBG rules and low/moderate income service requirements.

Project elements specifically include water main, water service, and water meter installation to extend service to the Wiscoy-Rossburg area, contingent on CDBG award.
