This $2 million Economic Development Administration project grant funds the Job Corps Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation and Replacement Project in Union County, Kentucky. The project will rehabilitate approximately 67,000 linear feet of existing 8-inch clay sewer pipe using trenchless cured-in-place pipe rehabilitation methods. An additional 18,000 linear feet of 8-inch sewer will be replaced and all 310 brick manholes, installed in the 1940s, will be replaced. These infrastructure improvements will support local industries and enhance economic recovery and resiliency following the coronavirus pandemic. The County of Union serves as the sub-awardee and will implement the project under the EDA's Economic Adjustment Assistance program, which provides infrastructure and planning assistance to regions facing adverse economic changes.
