At a Tuesday meeting the Monroe City Council discussed possible reductions in federal funding for the sewer plant expansion. The original plan anticipated 50 percent federal support for the $860,000 project, but the mayor said this could drop to 30 percent with the state covering about 25 percent and the city shouldering the rest.
