Danville commissioners on Jan. 12 authorized staff to pursue a Kentucky Infrastructure Authority (KIA) Fund B application to fund Phase 2 design work for the wastewater treatment plant.

Planning staff said the application would cover planning, design, administrative and related fees for a project with an application total of $1,358,500. Staff stressed that authorization begins the application process but does not guarantee an award.

The commission voted to approve the resolution authorizing staff to apply for the KIA funds; staff and commissioners thanked grant‑writing staff and noted the city’s frequent pursuit of state and federal funding to leverage local resources.

Next steps: staff will prepare and submit the KIA Fund B application and return with any required council actions if an award is offered.
