The Village of Lindenhurst today expressed its sincere appreciation to Kathy Hochul for allocating $113,829 in Aid and Incentives for Municipalities (AIM) funding as part of the State’s expanded financial assistance to local governments outside New York City.
As part of the Governor’s announcement of an additional $150 million in municipal aid — including a $100 million increase in Temporary Municipal Assistance — the Village of Lindenhurst will receive $113,829 to help address rising operational costs and maintain essential public services for residents.
“On behalf of the Village of Lindenhurst, I want to thank Governor Hochul for her continued commitment to supporting municipalities across New York State,” said Mayor Michael A. Lavorata. “This additional AIM funding of $113,829 will provide meaningful relief as we manage increasing costs while continuing to deliver the high-quality services our residents expect and deserve. The Governor’s recognition of the fiscal challenges facing local governments demonstrates a strong partnership between the State and its municipalities.”
The additional funding builds upon the State’s existing AIM program, which provides unrestricted aid to cities, towns, and villages outside of New York City. By tripling Temporary Municipal Assistance statewide, the Governor’s proposal strengthens the State-local partnership and helps ensure communities like Lindenhurst can remain fiscally stable without placing additional burdens on taxpayers.
Mayor Lavorata added, “Strong local governments are essential to maintaining safe neighborhoods, investing in infrastructure, and preserving the quality of life in our community. We are grateful for Governor Hochul’s leadership and for this important investment in Lindenhurst’s future.”
The Village looks forward to continued collaboration with the Governor and State leaders to support long-term fiscal stability and community growth.
