State Rep. Bronna Kahle of Clinton, MI this week announced the state has awarded special low interest loans to the cities of Tecumseh and Hudson for the purpose of improving water quality and infrastructure.
With interest rates well below those otherwise available on the open market and principal loan forgiveness opportunities, funding infrastructure projects through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund allows the communities to pass the savings along to their citizens.
“These loans are a great opportunity for our communities in Lenawee County,” Rep. Kahle said. “The funds will help ensure we are good stewards of Michigan’s biggest natural resource. Our water.”
The Clean Water State Revolving Fund creates opportunities for necessary wastewater and storm water improvements. The City of Hudson will receive $5.2 million with $150,000 in principal forgiveness to fund key improvements to the city’s wastewater treatment plant and collection system. The City of Tecumseh will receive $1.5 million to fund the rehabilitation of sanitary sewer and the Country Club Pump Station, as well as upgrades at the wastewater treatment plant to maintain system reliability.
