'As communities across the state continue to attract more residents, it is important that they are maintaining a strong infrastructure.'
Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs announced four Indiana communities will receive over $280,000 in Planning Grants through the Community Development Block Grant program.
The communities will use the funds to develop plans for long-term comprehensive development and the implementation of utility improvement projects.
“As communities across the state continue to attract more residents, it is important that they are maintaining a strong infrastructure,” said Lt. Gov. Crouch, Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “Congratulations to each of these Hoosier communities on receiving these grants.”
Water Infrastructure Grants allow communities to complete a holistic study of potential issues and opportunities across their drinking, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure. By completing this planning, communities will be able to make decisions regarding their most urgent water needs while understanding how each system works in context with other utility systems.
A Water Infrastructure Planning Grants was awarded to the Town of Winamac for $90,000.
Funding for OCRA’s CDBG programs originates from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant program and is administered for the State of Indiana by OCRA.
