The Town Commissioners of Pittsville are very pleased and excited to announce that the Town of Pittsville has been awarded and approved for a Community Development Block Grant/CDBG for $800,000 to assist in the funding for the major Water Treatment Plant/WTP Upgrade/Phase IV capital improvement project.
This is a very HUGE accomplishment by the Town since the WTP Upgrade/Phase IV project costs are $2,719,016. The Town has already been approved for $1,500,000 from the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) in grant funding and loan forgiveness. The awarded CDBG grant now reduces the Town’s local share to $419,016 or about 15% of the total project. The Town Manager has also submitted a grant application to the Rural Maryland Council for an additional $250,000 in grant funds which is pending.
The Town Commissioners would like to thank our engineering consulting firm, Davis Bowen & Friedel and especially our Town Engineer Rob Duma and staff for all their work on assisting the Town Manager and Town Staff in the preparation and submittal of the CDBG grant application.
The Town Commissioners also would like to thank the Maryland Department of Community Development’s (DHCD) “Community Development Block Grant/CDBG’s” approval of our application and their partnership in our WTP Upgrade/Phase IV project.
