Randolph Urges Fast Review Of West Virginia Water And Sewage Grants
Sen. Jennings Randolph requests expedited processing of EDA grant applications for the Bluefield Industrial Park and Cumberland Public Service District. The Bluefield project seeks 610000 dollars for a 1220000 dollar total, including water lines and drainage and roads. The Cumberland plan seeks 406000 dollars for an 812000 dollar project to build a five mile water line, tanks, boosters, serving about 75 residences and farms. A 2.4 million dollar sewer grant would cover six miles of sewer lines from Bluefield STP to the industrial park and serve the same farms and residences.
