This $2,286,000 Cooperative Agreement, awarded on February 15, 2024 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 1 under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202), provides funding to the Town of Grand Isle, Maine to implement upgrades to their water and wastewater treatment infrastructure. The key activities include constructing a 25' x 40' sludge drying bed with a greenhouse cover, improving the wastewater treatment facility, water treatment plant, and four pump stations. These enhancements are expected to improve the quality of treated effluent, protect the water quality of the St. John River, and reduce public health risks for Grand Isle residents. Additionally, the Town of Grand Isle has received sub-grant awards through the Maine Department of Education to support special education services for children with disabilities from birth to 20 years old.
