Senator Bill Larkin (R-C-I, 39th District) announced today that he secured a $135,000 grant for the Town of Cornwall Highway Department to purchase a new dump truck and roller.

"Maintenance of our local roads, highways and bridges is crucial to the safety of our residents. That's why I'm pleased to announce that I was able to secure a State and Municipal (SAM) grant for Cornwall's Highway Department," said Senator Larkin.
