State Senator Patty Ritchie visited Lake Neatahwanta recently week, as dredging began on the lake in an effort to restore it for use by the public again.

Recently, Senator Ritchie secured $200,000 in special funding to help the City of Fulton and the Town of Granby cover the costs associated with dredging the Lake. The aid builds upon $200,000 secured last year by Senator Ritchie; bringing the two year total of funding delivered by the Senator for the restoration of Lake Neatahwanta to $400,000.
