Nevada County officials announced they have received a $500,000 grant to address chronic sewer backups on Wildcat Road in the Newtown area.
A speaker told the board the grant — described as roughly a half-million dollars — will fund sewer improvements where residents have experienced repeated backups. The speaker credited Mayor Garland and other staff for advancing the application and described the award as "good news" for affected households.
