Minnesota Town Receives Funding to Fix Aging Sewer Collection System
The Minnesota Public Facilities Authority has awarded a $577,000 grant that will help the city of Cuyuna rehabilitate its sewer collection system.
Cuyuna, a city of about 340 people in Crow Wing County, received the grant from the PFA’s Wastewater Infrastructure Fund. Other financial support for the $1.34 million project includes a $464,000 grant and $289,000 loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Program and $10,000 in local funding.
“This funding package will enable Cuyuna to renovate an aging sewer collection system,” said Shawntera Hardy, who chairs the PFA board and is commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. “The improved system will protect public health and the local environment.”
The PFA’s Wastewater Infrastructure Fund was created to provide supplemental grants for high-cost projects in rural communities. The funding typically is packaged with PFA loans or USDA Rural Development Program support.
