Council hears $920,000 ARC application for Weisberg water storage tank; project awaiting USDA review
Summary
Craig told the White Square City Council that the Weisberg water storage tank project has advanced to phase two and an ARC application for $920,000 has been submitted; the project is awaiting an environmental review from USDA Rural Development and the city plans to contract with the district for administration.
At the January 2026 White Square City Council meeting, Craig reported that the Weisberg water storage tank project has moved into phase two and that an Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) application for $920,000 has been submitted.
Craig told the council the principal remaining hurdle is the environmental review being completed by USDA Rural Development (USDA RD). He said staff expect the review to be completed soon and that the district has personnel trained to administer state KIA and wastewater program funds; the city intends to contract with the district for administration.
Craig also read language referencing a resolution that would authorize Mayor Cindy Weitzberg to sign an administrative contract and enter the contract, citing April 3, 2026 in the reading. The transcript records the resolution text being read but does not include an explicit council vote on that resolution in the provided segments.
Council members did not record a roll-call tally on the ARC application or the resolution in the supplied segments; the presentation and read resolution were recorded in the meeting minutes as read aloud.
