    Congressman Nicholas Langworthy (NY-23 Congressional District) speaks about the importance of Chautauqua Lake during the signing ceremony for the Chautauqua Lake Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Study. Reflecting on the lake’s personal significance, Langworthy emphasized the urgent need to address environmental challenges such as algae blooms, invasive species, and sedimentation, which have hurt local businesses and threatened the lake’s future. Supported by $500,000 in federal funding as part of a $3 million project, the study is expected to help restore the lake’s ecosystem and boost tourism. Langworthy reaffirmed his commitment to securing long-term federal support for the restoration effort, highlighting the economic and environmental benefits for Chautauqua County. Joining him at the ceremony are Col. Nicholas Melin, commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Chautauqua County Executive Paul M. Wendel Jr., and Chautauqua County Legislature Chairman Pierre Chagnon in Mayville, NY, Oct. 7, 2024.
