We just received this message from City Council President Charlie Mallow:
I just received the word from the governor's office that Batavia will be included in the first round Transportation Stimulus announcement tomorrow morning in Canandaigua. Although I have few specifics regarding the exact announcement as it pertains to our city, it is my understanding that there is at least one city project will be included. I will be attending to represent the city tomorrow, Thursday, April 9, 10 AM at 125 Parish Street, Canandaigua.
Governor Paterson will announce transportation Stimulus funds at a DOT maintenance facility in Canandaigua. Ground breaking for this work will start within 180 days.
My apology for the the lack of information as to what streets will be receiving the repairs, I will have more for you after the meeting.
UPDATE: Rose Mary Christian left the following remark in the comments:
I'm very happy that our city will be on Governor Patterson list to recieve some of the stimulus money from the state. I must say Jason Molino and Sally Kuzon worked very hard for Batavia to compete against other communities. The city taxpayers should be very pleased with this process because it was their money ( from the VLT) to put into this project. It was our manager and his assistant who presented this to our Albany officals. Great job Jason and Sally, Rose Mary
Howard, I'm very happy that

Thank You goes out to all
Thank You goes out to all that made the Albany trip to fight for our slice of stimulus pie ! It is real easy to bash and complain but in tuff times the "thank you's" dont seem to roll out enuff.
All the stimulus money should
All the stimulus money should be given back to the people. But big government types don't think you are smart enough to spend your money wisely.
If you want the economy of this nation to be revitalized, support the fair tax.

And as soon as we as a nation do so, the world will come out of recession. Where we go, the world goes, even if Hussien Obama is bowing like a serf to the King of Saudi Arabia.
Tell the socialist bonehead
Tell the socialist bonehead libs to keep their porkulus money. The bill is laden with socialist and welfare pork in it, solely designed to grow government and take away from hard working Americans. Government is not the solution to our problems government is the problem.
