Specifically, grant funds will provide the sewer infrastructure needed to support a new bourbon distillery and other businesses, helping the region recover economically from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic by promoting job creation and private investment. The project deliverables will bolster economic resiliency in the area by ensuring adequate sewer capacity is available to accommodate increased commercial and industrial activity stemming from the distillery development and other concerns. Work is slated for completion by November 2025.
