Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone called the projects key to improving water quality, and attracting more businesses in Mastic Beach.
The funding will be used to mitigate flooding and improve water quality along Old Neck Road and Old Neck Creek in Center Moriches.
“As someone who lives in this great Suffolk County community, I can attest that the Forge River Sewer Project is critical to our quality of life," Zeldin said.
A nearly $224 million sewer project will reduce nitrogen pollution and expand economic development by eliminating about 1,890 cesspools and septic systems in the Mastic-Shirley area of Long Island. Still, environmentalists want more.
"Today we break ground on a historic sewer project that will both improve water quality in the Forge River and attract new investment to the Mastic community," Bellone said.
