W.Va. Water Development Authority grants over $67 million for improvement projects
West Virginia Governor Jim Justice has announced funding for 24 Economic Enhancement Grant Fund projects totaling over $67.4 million. Funding was approved by the West Virginia Water Development Authority (WDA).
In April 2022, Gov. Justice called a special session to fund the Economic Enhancement Grant Fund, at the time securing an initial amount of $250 million.
Since then, the program has seen exceptional success, and the WDA has approved EEGF projects worth $594 million, which has resulted in $2.3 billion of projects getting across the finish line. Over 614,000 West Virginians have been affected by these projects, which have touched every corner of the state.
The funding covers approval for critical infrastructure projects across the state, including construction of new wastewater treatment plants, waterline replacements and sewer system improvements.
