Elkton says drinking water project moving forward; USDA loan approvals still pending
Summary
The council received a brief update that the drinking water project has multiple phases underway and that the town is awaiting approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for loans to fund portions of the work; no loan amounts were recorded.
Town Manager Greg Lunsford provided a brief update Feb. 3 on the town’s multi‑phase drinking water project, advising Council that the town remains in various phases of work and is awaiting USDA approval for loans needed to support the project. The minutes record: "the Town was still awaiting approval from the USDA regarding loans." No dollar amounts, application statuses, or timelines for USDA action are recorded in the minutes.
Council did not vote on loan approvals at the Feb. 3 meeting. The update was informational; staff will return to Council with financing details and any required approvals once USDA action or other funding steps are confirmed.
Because the transcript does not specify loan amounts, schedules, or contingency plans, the town’s financing status should be verified with Town Manager’s office or Treasury before citing dollar values or timing in subsequent reporting.
