The West Virginia Infrastructure and Jobs Development Council announced funding for several projects at its meeting on Sept. 7. The council approved technical reviews and requests to pursue funding for 14 sewer and water projects, which help cities, municipalities and public service districts save taxpayer money and keep their water and sewer projects moving. The following regional projects were announced:
- Jumping Branch-Nimitz PSD Broomstraw and Mark Meador Road water extension to 53 customers estimated to cost $7.5 million
- Jumping Branch-Nimitz PSD Madams Creek Road water extension to 89 customers estimated to cost $5.1 million
- Greenbrier County PSD #2 sewer system and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) improvements estimated to cost $30.8 million
- Town of Union WTP relocation estimated to cost $8 million
The WV IJDC was created by the WV Legislature in 1994 to serve as a funding clearinghouse for water and wastewater projects around the state. Gov. Jim Justice serves as council chairman, with Deputy Chief of Staff Ann Urling serving as his designee.
