Ossining, NY – Assemblywoman Dana Levenberg released the following statement in response to confirmation that up to $20 million from the FY2025 budget will be allocated to engineering activities related to the modernization of the section of Route 9A that runs through Ossining and Briarcliff:

"We have heard our constituents loud and clear: Route 9A has been neglected for too long. That era of neglect is coming to an end now, with scheduled repaving starting at the end of June and this new commitment of $20 million for the next phase of the modernization of the Briarcliff-Peekskill Parkway. Finding funding to fix this road has been among my top priorities since taking office last year, and I am so pleased to see the collective efforts of so many bearing fruit."
