5 Ohio communities – including Greenfield – to receive $3.75 million for water, wastewater improvement
COLUMBUS – Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Ohio Department of Development Director Lydia Mihalik today announced five communities will receive a total of $3.75 million in Residential Public Infrastructure Grant funding for improvements to their local water and wastewater treatment facilities.
The second round of grants, funded through the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), will empower these communities to improve the quality of life for their more than 12,500 residents by providing safe and reliable drinking water and proper disposal of sanitary waste.
“The impact of these grants goes far beyond just improving infrastructure; it reaches the heart of every home and every family in these communities,” said Governor DeWine. “Clean water is a basic necessity of life, and we’re dedicated to ensuring that more Ohioans have access reliable water services.”
Project activities funded this round include treatment plant upgrades, improvements to water and wastewater collection systems, sewer line replacements, and more. The grant ceiling for each project was $750,000.
