Sweden meets with USDA regarding public water expansion

Seymour Library Schematic DrawingOn August 14, Sweden Supervisor Kevin Johnson met with Cynthia Newcomb of the United States Department of Agriculture to begin the application process for public water expansion funding. The goal was to gather information the town needs to prepare a successful grant application. Next the town engineer will obtain technical information from the head engineer at the USDA; and the town will submit detailed financial information to the USDA. The Sweden Town Board will then have to choose a water line segment(s) to submit in its first application. Supervisor Johnson plans to rely heavily on the engineering recommendations from both the town engineer and the USDA engineer. The town’s goal is to have its first grant application submitted this fall.
