As you know, we are anxiously pacing the floor to learn if the village will receive the 1.5 million dollar grant for the water treatment/sewer plant. This is a "matching" grant which means that the Village matches every dollar the Economic Development Administration gives us. By passing the Sewer Bond election, we can match the 1.5 million. This gives the Village a total of 3 million of which only 1.5 million will have to be paid back.
To help us is a letter to the EDA from our U.S. Senator, John Cornyn, supporting our grant. "Thank you, Senator Cornyn for believing in our Village and giving us your total support. If the grant is awarded, it will decrease the cost of the sewer system as will as save the citizens increased property taxes. Not only did you support, you asked to be informed of the progress of the application. Please accept our appreciation for going the extra mile."
