LaLota Secures $3.5 Million for Huntington Townwide Road Repaving
The July 8, 2026 press conference at the Huntington Highway Department announced $3.5 million in federal Community Project Funding for townwide road repaving. Speakers included U.S. Rep. Nick LaLota, Town Supervisor Ed Smyth, Highway Superintendent Andre Sorrentino, State Sen. Mario Mattera, and deputy superintendents. The segment covered the funding's origin in the FY2026 appropriations process, its expected use for 2027 paving work, and the highway department's recent record of repaving most town roads. Sourcing relies on the elected officials present and LaLota's congressional press release; no independent experts or critics appear. Graphics or visuals are not described in the transcript.
