Senator Thayer Announces
Water and Sewer Projects for Scott County
Frankfort - State Senator Damon Thayer (R-Georgetown) announced today additional water and sewer projects for Scott County thanks to an agreement between House and Senate leaders. Senator Thayer and State Representative Charlie Hoffman (D-Georgetown) worked in a bipartisan way to ensure that Scott County would receive $ 2.8 million to be used for future construction of the proposed Scott County Reservoir and the proposed sewer line extension/upgrade between Georgetown and Sadieville.
The allocations include $1,075,000 for the reservoir and $1,725,000 for the Sadieville-to-Georgetown sewer line extension.
"Access to clean water and a comprehensive sewer system is important not only for economic development but also for the quality of life of Scott County families," Senator Thayer said, "I was pleased to help obtain these additional funds."
These funds are for distribution for the fiscal year 2009-2010 biennium.
Thank you,
Senator Damon Thayer
