Sewer Project Public Meeting

Sewage in Metamora is on its' way OUT! The project is flowing forward at a rapid pace.

We anticipate a committment of $1,300,000 in grants and $1,109,000 in low cost loans from USDA-Rural Development.

The Sewer District Board is currently working with South Central Regional Planning Commission to comply with final application requirements for a $500,000 Department of Commerce Grant.

These monies will NOT be available in the future...and we're competing Statewide for them. All lose ends must be tied up this month.

The entire community needs remaining easements/waivers NOW. Also, the DOC wants to see lots of "letters of support" for the project. If you feel so compelled, simply address it "To Whom it may Concern" and state your reasons favoring sewers...good for environment, good for business, customer complaints, etc.

Technical questions should be referred to Joe Tierney, GRW Engineers, Inc. at 1-800-310-5066 (ext. 225). Feel free to contact me, 765-932-2365, home phone.

A special public meeting will be held Friday, March 25, 7:00 pm at the Metamora Methodist Church. This meeting is required by the Department of Commerce and large attendence/ participation will reflect well on our grant application.

Please plan on attending-and bring your letter of support (or mail to M.R.S.D. P.O. Box 36, Metamora, IN 47030).

Thank you for your time and consideration.
