Greene County accepts $12 million state grant, bringing White Run Reservoir project funding to $15 million
Summary
The board authorized the county administrator to accept $12 million from the Virginia Department of Health for construction of a raw water main, intake and pump station for the White Run Reservoir project, raising project funds to $15 million and triggering a January public hearing to appropriate the money.
Greene County supervisors authorized the county administrator to accept $12,000,000 in grant funding from the Virginia Department of Health for the White Run Reservoir raw water main, intake and pump station.
County staff said the county already had $3 million earmarked for the project; the $12 million award increases available funding to $15 million. The board approved a motion to accept the grant and scheduled a public hearing in January to appropriate the funds.
County staff and supervisors described the funding as a major step that reflects regional support for the project; staff also said they will continue pursuing additional state and federal grant opportunities to supplement project financing as appropriate.
The board approved the resolution by roll‑call vote and directed staff to advertise the appropriation hearing for the first meeting in January.
