MADISON- Gov. Jim Doyle today announced that the Village of Glen
Flora, Rusk County, will receive a public facilities grant totaling $200,000
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 Glen Flora
this grant we are able to meet the needs of this Wisconsin community.”

“The grant will help the Village of Glen Flora to upgrade its waste water
treatment facility, 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 $600,000.”

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.
