The village of Spring Valley is among seven Hudson Valley communities that will be getting state funds to combat gun violence. $750,000 is coming to the village to fund workforce training and job placement programs for at-risk youth, part of the program launched when Governor Andrew Cuomo declared gun violence a public health emergency earlier this month…
Under plan, the State Department of Labor will partner with local workforce development boards to provide job training, credentialing and career placement services, ultimately leading to good-paying, permanent jobs for those age 18-24 who are unemployed, underemployed or out-of-school.
