Barclay: IJC Recognizes a Review of Plan 2014 is Needed

Assemblyman Will Barclay (R,C,I,REF—Pulaski) released the following statement today after taking part in a round table discussion with members of the International Joint Commission and other local, state, and federal representatives in Oswego.

“I want to thank Congressman Katko for hosting the IJC commissioners in Oswego today to discuss flooding on Lake Ontario. Property owners are devastated by the historically high water levels compounded with wind from storms and are looking for help and answers. While I don’t think there is an agreement on the causes of the current catastrophic flooding, I was pleased the IJC came to the county to listen to our concerns about Plan 2014. I was also pleased they recognize that a full review of Plan 2014 is needed.

“I continue to believe that Plan 2014 has contributed to the high lake levels and the resulting property damage. I will continue to advocate for its revocation.”
