Hawesville will conduct surveys for sewer grant | News

The City of Hawesville is partnering with Green River Area Development District (GRADD) to conduct door-to-door surveys to determine if the community is eligible for grant money to make upgrades to its wastewater system.

Households within the city limits will be randomly selected to participate.

The surveys—known as LMI (low to moderate income) benefit surveys—are simple one-page forms that will remain confidential.

The surveys are the first step in the application process for a Kentucky Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG).

If successful, Hawesville could secure up to $1 million to complete much-needed repairs to its aging sewage treatment facility.

 Funding for the CDBG program comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and is administered in the commonwealth by the Department for Local Government.

 Surveys will be conducted throughout February and March.

Residents who have questions about this project are welcome to contact City Hall at (270) 927-8707 or GRADD at (270) 926-4433.
