    Spring Hope will receive nearly $3 million in State Water Infrastructure Authority funding to retool the town’s water and sewer systems.

    Gov. Roy Cooper announced $235 million in drinking water and wastewater infrastructure funding and stormwater grants Wednesday, a day after the Water Infrastructure Authority met to consider grant requests from local governments. The awards include a combined $2,960,880 for the town of Spring Hope, which was approved for separate water and sewer grants.

    Altogether, the panel agreed to fund 79 projects in 30 counties, including 51 construction projects.

    North Carolina’s State Water Infrastructure Authority approved funding assistance in the form of loans and/or grants for the following local applications:

    • Town of Spring Hope: $1,766,080 for drinking water and an elevated water tank replacement and $1,194,800 for 2023 wastewater treatment plant improvements.

    • Town of Nashville: $984,046 for wastewater and Regency Estates sewer improvements and $595,830 for a wastewater project on Essex Road.

    • Town of Sharpsburg: $3,215,000 from the Clean Water State Reserve Fund for wastewater system improvements.

    • Town of Sharpsburg: $1.1 million from the Clean Water State Reserve Fund for wastewater system improvements and pump station and wastewater collection system improvements in Edgecombe, Nash and Wilson counties.

    • Town of Stantonsburg: $738,866 from the Clean Water State Reserve Fund for sewer collection system Phase II rehabilitation.

    Towns are notified of their funding awards when they receive a letter of intent to fund from the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality’s Division of Water Infrastructure.
