USDA invests in Horton water and wastewater infrastructure

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development Community Programs Director in Kansas, Dan Fischer, announced that three Kansas communities – including Horton – are receiving $23 million in financing to improve water and wastewater infrastructure. USDA is funding the projects through the Water and Waste Disposal Loan and Grant program.

“USDA provides communities with affordable financing for water and wastewater infrastructure projects that are vital to the health and safety of rural communities,” said Fischer. “It requires a large investment in infrastructure to maintain essential services for rural residents, and USDA is committed to partnering with rural communities to help bring economic opportunities.”
