MADISON — Governor Tony Evers announced on Thursday that 22 municipalities have been selected to receive $20.7 million in grant funding for public improvement projects. One of them is Campbellsport, which will receive $1 million for street and utility infrastructure improvements.
“Whether it’s updating water systems to ensure the community’s water supply is clean and reliable or supporting important road improvement projects to make sure folks can get to work and school safely, we are committed to building the infrastructure Wisconsinites need and deserve in every corner of our state,” said Evers in the release. “All of these projects will help support jobs and improve the quality of life for folks and families in communities across the state.”
The Community Development Block Grant Public Facility (CDBG-PF) funding, which comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, was administered by the Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) for critical public infrastructure projects in communities with populations under 50,000 and low- to moderate-income levels.
“The CDBG-PF grant program has long been critical for our smaller communities,” said DOA Secretary Kathy Blumenfeld in the release. “These investments not only support family sustaining jobs and much-needed improvements, but they also help us build for the future.”
