MADISON, WI (WSAU) — Governor Tony Evers has announced over $22.4 million in community development block grants to municipalities for local infrastructure projects.
The money is targeted to low-to-moderate income communities and will help with projects such as sidewalks, street expansion, or water, sewer, and drainage systems.
Local areas that will benefit include Abbotsford, Rib Lake, Owen, Crandon, and Pittsville.
Other areas that will be awarded grants include; Algoma, Ashland, Augusta, Boscobel, Clyman, Cobb, Dorchester, Gratiot, Gresham, Mason, Mauston, Mondovi, Muscoda, Norwalk, Prentice, South Wayne, Spooner, Suring, Viola, and Winter.
“From Spooner to Cobb to Algoma, the more than $22 million in grants announced today will help make critical infrastructure improvements and support upgrades to essential services while sustaining family-supporting jobs in communities across our state,” said Gov. Evers.
“Communities of all sizes have struggled for years to make desperately needed repairs to aging roads, water mains, and sewerage systems,” said DOA Secretary Joel Brennan in a press release. “Making these improvements enables Wisconsin communities to provide better public services and stronger public infrastructure to residents who rely on them daily.”
