HUNTINGTON STATION, NY — Huntington Station is set to receive $22 million more in funding for the community's sewer hook-ups, announced State Sen. Jim Gaughran (D—Syosset) and Assemblyman Steve Stern (D—Melville).

A combined $66 million has now been poured into the Huntington Station sewer system, as the state funding will allow neighborhoods off of New York Avenue in Huntington Station to connect to the sewer expansion in Huntington Station's business district. The connections will allow for increased environmental protections and the expansion of housing for the Huntington Station community.

Huntington Supervisor Edmund Smyth, a Republican, called it a "great day for Huntington Station," noting that infrastructure is a bipartisan issue.
