U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey was in Elmsford today with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to look at one of the many areas near the Saw Mill River that get washed out during heavy rains.
Lowey, a Democrat from Harrison, said she helped secure $8 million from the feds for flood relief in Westchester County, including around the Saw Mill, which is being studied by the Army Corps now.
Elmsford Mayor Robert Williams got some face time with the congresswoman, as did a few local merchants, who shared with her stories of evacuating employees when there’s even a threat of a heavy storm.
“This is a major problem for this community, and for many community that border the Saw Mill,” Lowey said after the meeting.
