Project also includes structural modifications and additions to the existing West River Waste Water Treatment Plant.

This project (EDA Investment No. 04‐79-07612) will be partially funded with Federal funds from the United States Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration and therefore is subject to the Federal laws and regulations associated with that program.
