STATEHOUSE (July 6, 2009) - State Sen. Johnny Nugent today announced that the North Dearborn Water Corp. qualifies for an estimated $688,000 grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 through the Indiana Finance Authority to complete improvements to the North Dearborn Water Corp. drinking water system.

"These stimulus funds will help save residents from having to assume the financial burden and pay higher fees to fund necessary infrastructure improvements," Nugent said. "This investment in water infrastructure will help not only to serve current residents by improving water quality, but also to prepare North Dearborn Water Corp.'s service area for future economic development opportunities.
