The Office of Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs announced 15 rural communities will receive more than $9.4 million in federal grant funding to expand community facilities, improve water infrastructure and eliminate blight.
OCRA distributes Community Development Block Grant funds to rural communities, which assist units of local government with various community projects such as infrastructure improvement, downtown revitalization, public facilities and economic development.
The goals of the Wastewater/Drinking Water Program are to protect resident and environmental health, reduce utility rates for low-to-moderate income communities and improve rural infrastructure to enable long-term economic growth.
The Town of Hope is awarded $750,000 for upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant. The project includes installing a new force main at the Goshen Meadows Lift Station and addressing capacity issues at the Moravian Lift Station.
