Cape area communities are getting an early Christmas gift from the state.
Treasurer Deb Goldberg's office announced 108 million dollars in loan forgiveness for 46 water projects in 35 communities.
"These grants will support important projects throughout Massachusetts and help lower costs for local communities," said State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg, Chair of the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust. "The Trust is dedicated to improving water quality and protecting public health, particularly for the people in our state that need it most."
“Every community in Massachusetts deserves access to clean water and reliable infrastructure,” said Governor Maura Healey. “These investments will help 35 communities make critical upgrades to their wastewater systems, protect public health and keep costs down for residents and businesses.”
Cape area communities will get some 8 million dollars in loan forgiveness off of more than 51 million dollars in projects.
The funding is coming from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill passed last year by Congress.
