where SUNY Plattsburgh at Queensbury is located. The county received $12.6 million from the $2.2 billion allocated to New York state through President Joe Biden’s America Rescue Plan Act.
“Over the last six months, Warren County has reviewed dozens if not hundreds of worthy requests for funding,” Bartscherer said. “We are extremely grateful to the county for recognizing the positive impact of awarding not just one, but two grants to SUNY Plattsburgh at Queensbury.”
Two of these proposals have been granted — a total of $49,189. Warren County granted SUNY Plattsburgh at Queensbury $32,335 to award 100 students with Chromebooks and have 20 Chromebooks on loan, approved Oct. 7, 2022.
