MADISON- Gov. Jim Doyle today announced that the Village of Warrens,
Monroe County, will receive a public facilities grant totaling $570,000 to
upgrade its infrastructure system to aid in community and economic
development.
“My Grow Wisconsin initiative calls for investing in our infrastructure to
improve our business climate and the quality of life for all residents,”
Gov. Doyle said. “I am pleased that by awarding the Village of Warrens this
grant we are able to meet the needs of this Wisconsin community.”
“The grant will help the Village of Warrens construct a water storage tank
and install new water main, allowing the community to provide an adequate
supply of safe water,” Department of Commerce (Commerce) Secretary Cory L.
Nettles said. “The total costs for this project are $1.2 million.”
Commerce has administered the federally funded CDBG-PF Program since 1982.
These grants play an important role in helping communities finance a wide
range of projects designed to enhance the economic vitality of the community
through the expansion of the tax base, job creation, and increased private
investment in downtowns. Grants are awarded to projects that will primarily
benefit low- and moderate-income residents. For further information on the
CDBG-PF Program contact James Frymark, Commerce, at 608/266-2742.
