FRANKFORT, Ky. (KFVS) – Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announces $13.2M to improve clean water and sewer infrastructure statewide.
The funding will go to 10 projects across Kentucky, including two projects in the Heartland. Gov. Beshear says every Kentuckian deserves high-quality water and sewer infrastructure.
“We’re investing in all of our people, ensuring nobody is left behind. When we invest in critical infrastructure, we set our communities up for success for years to come,” said Beshear.
The funding will go to the following Heartland projects:
- $2,880,000 will go to the Livingston County Fiscal Court. This project will increase the capacity of the Crittenden-Livingston Water District’s water treatment plant to better serve their customers while also allowing for more water to go to the city of Marion
- $1,200,000 will go to the city of Marion. This project will make improvements to the water storage capacity of the city’s water treatment plant
According to Gov. Beshear, the funding comes from Kentucky’s Community Development Block Grant – Public Facilities program. The Public Facilities program provides funding primarily to develop Kentucky’s water and wastewater systems.
