Federal Funding to support Shoreline Restoration Efforts along Riverbend Project

Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-27) announced the award of $167,000 in federal funding for Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper.   The grant, provided through the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, will support Phase II of the Buffalo Riverbend project. 

“These federal funds will continue our efforts to preserve and enhance the water’s edge,” said Congressman Higgins, a member of the Congressional Great Lakes Task Force.  “Beyond the clear environmental benefits this work will continue the transformation of Buffalo’s old and industrial image to one that is new, exciting and welcoming to the public and innovative economic development.”

Two separate accidents on the New York State Thruway left traffic backed up for many returning home from their weekend trips.

The first accident happened around 1:45 PM around exit 48 in Batavia. Troopers say a truck towing a camper rolled over in the eastbound lanes shutting down the right lane for several hours.

At least two children were injured along with two adults. Their condition is unknown at this time.

Troopers also responded to an accident involving an RV and a small car in the town of Hamburg.

Shortly before 4:00 PM, 39 year old Jason Hoover of Orchard Park was driving a car eastbound near the Milestrip exit when he lost control of his vehicle. Hoover overcorrected the car and re-entered the eastbound lanes sideways where he was struck by an RV.

One passenger in the small car, 39 year old Donna Nappa, was seriously injured when they were struck by the RV.
