Georgia’s Lowndes County and Moody Air Force Base to undergo water infrastructure upgrades
(UI) — U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is delivering new upgrades to improve water infrastructure in Lowndes County and Moody Air Force Base.
Today, Sen. Ossoff is delivering $861,025 to Lowndes County to strengthen drinking water infrastructure and improve Georgians’ access to clean and safe drinking water.
The new resources will support a more reliable water supply for thousands of Lowndes County residents and military families by connecting Moody AFB to Lowndes County’s public drinking water system, according to Lowndes County Commission Chairman Bill Slaughter.
The Federal funding comes through the Department of Defense Community Infrastructure Pilot Program, which aims to improve community infrastructure near military installations.
The grant will also help expand water capacity infrastructure to improve firefighting systems on Moody AFB.
“Moody Air Force Base is critical to U.S. national security, and Lowndes County families are always on my mind,” Sen. Ossoff said. “This is why I partnered with local leaders to deliver these upgrades for local water and sewer infrastructure, which will serve both the base and Lowndes County families. I want to thank Dr. Lucy Greene in particular for her teamwork as we secured these upgrades.”
He successfully worked with Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX)This is an external link through last year’s NDAA to significantly boost the DoD’s facilities maintenance budget for Sustainment, Restoration and Maintenance (FSRM) projects.
Last year, Sen. Ossoff worked across the aisle to successfully secure additional resources through the FY23 NDAA to upgrade barracks, daycare centers, and other facilities for military families in Georgia and across the nation.
