Water district wins $1.5M grant for St. Clair County improvements
The Coosa Valley Water Supply District received a $1.5 million grant to connect several St. Clair County water systems.
The U.S. Economic Development Administration gave the grant to the district to connect Pell City, Odenville and Springville to a regional water system, said a news release.
The project will create 83 jobs and $5.7 million in private investment and build a water intake structure at the Coosa River and other improvements to support additional development and business expansion in the region.
“The Obama Administration is committed to helping communities stay competitive,” U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said in a statement. “This EDA grant will help make the vital infrastructure improvements these towns need to establish a regional water system that will support the business community and attract new jobs to the region.”
