The US Economic Development Administration awarded Water Works & Sewer Boar (Abbeville) a grant worth $2,127,000 to help fund a project in Henry County.

The grant was awarded on Sept. 27. The EDA describes the grant as follows:

"This EDA investment funds critical wastewater infrastructure improvements needed to serve a local sawmill site and commercial development adjacent to the site in a designated Opportunity Zone in Henry County, Alabama. The project will help the region's forest and wood products industry cluster and encourage economic growth, promote international exports, attract private investments, create jobs, and diversify the local economy."
