Applications Filed for PWA Sewer Grants in Hobbs and New Hobbs
Formal PWA grant applications were filed Monday for Hobbs and New Hobbs sewer projects. The Hobbs plan seeks 45 percent of the cost, with a $115000 project. City Attorney Brand led the Hobbs filing, while C M Neal, George Facne, and Councilman Joe Cunningham filed an amended New Hobbs application. The amendment lowers the proposed system cost to $53000, reducing the bond issue to about $29000, down from the previous $43000 voted by New Hobbs property owners last week.
