Show Me the Money!!!!












Good News
Myself, and many of you in the community fought to receive grant funding for the second phase of the Waste water Treatment Plant Project. We wrote letters to Senators, State Representatives, Congressman, and the Governor. I petitioned for community support, and lobbied all the agencies I thought could help.
The numbers are in and the Village of Lynchburg will be getting $1,602,000 in a grant for the project. This grant came through the stimulus funding program. In addition, we were able to secure $500,000 in a grant earlier this year. That is a total of $2,102,000 in Grant funding for the project which totals $3,204,000. The project will still cost something, however this is a huge burden that we will not have to bear. There is a light at the end of the Tunnel, 2014 here we come. The Community will get a brand new state of the art sewer plant that will be ready for the future.
