Century Seeks Funds For Water System Improvements
September 23, 2015
The Town of Century is looking for $700,000 in state or federal funds for water system improvements.
The town has lobbied the local legislative delegation — Sen. Greg Evers, Rep. Clay Ingram and Rep. Mike Hill – for $198,000 in state funding during the next legislative session.
The town is also set to apply for $700,000 in RESTORE funding. RESTORE projects will be funded with civil penalties from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Once the RESTORE application period closes at the end of the month, , project proposals will be evaluated by the technical review team consisting of subject matter experts, the RESTORE Act Advisory Committee and the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners. The ranked proposals will be presented for public comment. The Board of County Commissioners has the final authority for approval of the project list before it is submitted to the U.S. Department of Treasury for federal level review.
