Estill gets EDA reimbursement plan; wastewater treatment plant project due to start in January
Summary
Town officials said the Economic Development Administration will front paid invoices and reimburse the town upon receipt of cancelled checks. The wastewater treatment plant project is scheduled to begin in January 2025; staff said corrections are being made and an earlier anonymous complaint prompted review but did not stop the project.
Town Administrator Tiffany Cooks updated the council on the wastewater treatment plant grant and project timeline, saying the Economic Development Administration (EDA) will front paid invoices in the project book and reimburse the town after it provides cancelled checks.
Cooks said an anonymous complaint about the wastewater plant prompted scrutiny but ultimately “worked to our advantage,” and that the project will begin in January 2025. She said contractors are making required corrections and that reimbursement procedures are in place through the EDA.
No formal council vote was recorded on the grant update; instead, staff reported ongoing administrative steps and a start date for construction and corrective work.
What happens next: staff will proceed with the project start in January, track reimbursable invoices for EDA filing, and coordinate any remaining corrective items before field work begins.
