Anderson/Anniston Township sewer district seeks $700,000 CDBG for Phase 1 collection repairs
Summary
Mendenhall & Associates said the Anderson Township Regional Sewer District’s Phase 1 sewer project totals about $857,500 and the district will request $700,000 in CDBG funding, proposing Rural Water of Indiana as a local match; the firm asked commissioners to approve the district’s application for the next available rounds.
Tina Henderson of Mendenhall & Associates appeared before the commissioners to present a CDBG application request on behalf of the Anderson Township Regional Sewer District (sometimes referenced as Anniston/Anderson in remarks).
Henderson said the county previously approved a planning grant for Anderson Township and that the planning work resulted in a proposed Phase 1 project with a total cost of approximately $857,500. Phase 1 would include roughly 2,400 linear feet of cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining and televising 100% of the collection system in coordination with Millroy Regional Sewer District.
Henderson requested $700,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the Phase 1 build. She said the district intended to use a Rural Water of Indiana loan as the local match, and that the county would act as a passthrough entity to receive and disperse funds to contractors if the grant is awarded. Henderson asked the commissioners to approve the district’s application for round 2 of 2025 and round 1 of 2026, noting communities typically apply multiple rounds to secure funding.
Board response and next steps: the presenter provided application materials and indicated she would be at the commissioners’ meeting on the 20th to follow up. The transcript shows commissioners asked clarifying questions; the excerpt does not record a final vote but includes acknowledgement the application would be presented to the commissioners again.
