Schumer blasted a recent decision by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to rescind federal funds that had been promised for local infrastructure projects in the Towns of Onondaga, Elbridge, Lafayette, the Town of Skaneateles, Van Buren, and the Villages of Jordan, Baldwinsville, and Marcellus. Schumer explained that HUD had approved federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to go to these communities in September of last year – and, as a result, these communities began spending money on design and planning of various projects – but HUD pulled the funding in November after it decided to use new census data to determine how to allocate CDBG dollars. The new data HUD was using considered these communities, which had been eligible for funding, now wholly part of communities that were ineligible for funding due to their high income levels. This change has resulted in towns having to put critical projects on hold that were set to receive these federal funds.</span></p>"}}
