Senator Thayer Announces
Water and Sewer Projects for Grant County
Frankfort - State Senator Damon Thayer (R-Georgetown) announced today additional water and sewer projects for Grant County thanks to an agreement between House and Senate leaders. Senator Thayer and State Representative Royce Adams (D-Dry Ridge) worked in a bipartisan way to ensure that Grant County would receive $1.2 million to be used for water and sewer line extensions and upgrades in Corinth and underserved rural areas.
In addition, Senator Thayer included in these funds $400,000 for Phase I of the Grant County Sewer Line Extension.
"Clean water and a comprehensive sewer system is important not only for economic development but also for the quality of life of our families," Senator Thayer said, "I was pleased to obtain these additional funds."
These funds are for distribution for the fiscal year 2009-2010 biennium.
Thank you,
Senator Damon Thayer
