Nearly $56 million in federal stimulus money is flowing into Ohio to help pay for water and sewer projects, including $6.2 million for work in the Miami Valley.
Dayton will receive $1.7 million while Montgomery County is slated to get $496,661 and Darke and Miami counties will receive $1.2 million and $1.29 million, respectively.
“Infrastructure improvements improve quality of life, economic development opportunities and the region’s ability to attract new business investment,” Gov. Ted Strickland said.Â  “They also help ensure that our communities are providing residents with safe and reliable sources of water and sanitary sewer systems. Most importantly, they are putting Ohioans to work.”
