VOORHEESVILLE — John Boyd Thacher State Park will receive $1.35 million from the state for upgrades to the park’s electrical infrastructure and the decommissioning of its sewage-treatment plant.

The funding is part of New York State’s NY Parks 2020 initiative, which this year is doling out $110 million for park-related infrastructure projects across the state.

Thacher Park will use $650,000 of its funding for the sewage-treatment plant and $700,000 will go toward the electric-system rehabilitation.

Last year, Alane Ball Chinian, the director of the Saratoga-Capital District Region for the state parks department, told The Enterprise that both projects had been included as part of Thacher Park’s 2013 master plan.

“That it is expensive and is not something the public sees, but is also very important,” Chinian said at the time of replacing the park’s primary electrical service.

As for the sewage-treatment plant decommissioning, she said that the park was switching from its aged water and sewer lines that were installed in the 1940s and ’50s to septic systems for the campground at Thompson’s Lake as well as each of the bathrooms in the park.
