State budget: road windfall, Historic Village cut at risk
Troy
Summary
Rep. MacDonell says Troy's road funding jumps 33% (about $3.8M) and the city expects roughly $95,000 from a new public safety trust fund — but $400K promised for Troy Historic Village upgrades was caught in December's $645M state defundments, now in litigation between the AG and House Speaker. A $5M request for Square Lake Road resurfacing was denied.

Drivers benefit from road money; the Historic Village and its supporters stand to regain funding if the courts side with recipients.
The Troy Historic Village lost promised funding mid-project; schools face uncertainty from temporary stopgap funding.
