City Receives $765,000 Grant

The city of Winner has received a $765,000 community development block grant.

The funds will be used to make improvements to the city’s wastewater, storm sewer and water systems infrastructure.  The funds will be used for the East 8th St project which will include new storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water line along with a new street surface.
Work will also include rehabilitation of the lift station plus improvement to the lagoons.   The estimated cost of the project is $2 million. The city will also be applying for a rural development loan.

“Quality of life is of the upmost importance and in South Dakota we are fortunate to have so many community-minded leaders who are committed to improving their towns and cities,” said Gov. Dennis Daugaard.

“In 2016, more than $6.3 million in CDBG funds were awarded to community projects and I hope we can continue that trend in 2017.”
The CDBG program provides local governments with funding to complete projects that improve living conditions. The CDBG is funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and administered by the governor’s office of economic development.

Winner was one of eight projects that were funded.
