The commissioners approved signing a contract for Community Development Block Grant funds in the amount of $500,000 for a waterline extension along Shiloh and Houser Roads.

“We have to congratulate the supervisors,” said Commissioner Mark McCracken. “They’ve put a lot of work into this project."

The total cost of the project is estimated at $1,890,000. It will help 73 homes in the project area.
