Pinckneyville Eyes Federal Help for Waterworks Project
Pinckneyville may obtain 150000 in federal funds via the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs to start a scaled down waterworks project. The move follows a previous 414000 Economic Development Administration grant drop and could lead to borrowing 276000 from Farmers Home Administration to cover a 690000 plan including a raw water line near Beaucoup Creek and backwash water treatment to meet EPA standards.
