United States Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says funding for a Hopkinsville sewer project is among more $2.7 million dollars of funding from the Delta Regional Authority.
Leader McConnell says Hopkinsville will receive $410,234 to launch a sewer extension project to a currently unserved company within the city’s limits. The Delta Regional Authority also authorized $387,800 for the City of Guthrie to extend the city’s sewer and natural gas lines to a currently unserved commercial development.
The DRA will allocate funding to projects in Benton, Calhoun, Wickliffe, and Henderson. Senator McConnell is a longtime supporter of robust DRA funding and advocates for the agency during the Senate’s annual appropriations process.
Senator McConnell says “The Delta Regional Authority delivers important resources to a wide range of communities, all tied together by their unique bond to the Mississippi River and its tributaries. I have been a proud supporter of this program for years and gladly advocate on behalf of Kentucky communities to receive substantial agency investment,”. He adds “The projects funded by today’s announcement will have real, tangible effects on the lives of Western Kentuckians and will spur the economic development their region needs to prosper.”
