Clark and Greene counties are receiving these funds as part of the Ohio BUILDS Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Grant program, according to State Senator Bob Hackett.

“It is important to keep our water systems safe, updated, and maintained so our neighborhoods stay a great place to live and work,” he said. “These funds are going to have a positive impact.”

Greene County will get $2.5 million in gap funding to complete, improve, and expand the available water supply by developing a 57-acre property on Hilltop Road into a groundwater-producing wellfield.
