The Caneyville City Commission was presented with a plan to fund the next phase of the wastewater project, during last night’s meeting.

Ashley Willoughby from Lincoln Trail Area Development District addressed the commission regarding funding for the next phase of the wastewater project.

He distributed packets of information regarding an Infrastructure Revolving Loan. This would be a 20-year low interest loan. The commission agreed to allow Willoughby to continue to apply for the loan.

Willoughby added that the new applications for a Community Development Block Grant would be accepted May 3rd. This is actually later than normal but he would have the application ready for review. The commission agreed to pass a resolution to apply for a CDBG. Commission will hold a public hearing on April 12th at 6 pm.
