Russell’s 118th District includes Ogdensburg all the townships in St. Lawrence County along the St. Lawrence River plus Canton, Potsdam and Macomb, and northern Jefferson County.
Under the RNY specifications, the 10 businesses in the Assembly District will help create and retain 8,000 jobs in the community, Russell noted.
