Putnam County receives $2.288 million for Fiser Ridge waterline extension
Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers told Putnam County commissioners the county received $2,288,000 in congressional directed spending for the Fiser Ridge waterline extension; the project is a 75% federal / 25% non‑federal cost share and a cooperative agreement will be prepared.
Putnam County and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are moving forward on the Fiser Ridge waterline extension after a kickoff meeting and a congressional allocation of $2,288,000.
Clancy Berford, program manager for the Army Corps' Section 340 program, said the county received congressional directed spending from Senator Capo totaling $2,288,000 for the Fiser Ridge Waterline Extension and described the project as a 75% federal, 25% non‑federal cost‑share program. Berford said the county held a kickoff meeting with local representatives and that the Corps will work toward an agreement with the Putnam County Commission.
County representatives said staff will provide further program steps and documentation to the commission. Commissioners and staff noted the county expects to move into a formal agreement with the Corps so the project can advance through engineering, design and procurement phases.
Why it matters: The grant will fund a major utility extension affecting Fiser Ridge residents and properties; a federal cost share means the county must provide non‑federal matching funds as the project advances.
Next steps: The county and the Army Corps will prepare the cooperative agreement and coordinate on design and implementation steps, with staff made available as the Corps' primary local contact.
