SNOWE, COLLINS ANNOUNCE $5 MILLION FOR WATER AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS FOR MAINE

U.S. Senators Olympia J. Snowe and Susan Collins (R-Maine) today announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has awarded $5,158,000 to Maine for water and environmental projects. The funding is being distributed to Maine through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Senators Snowe and Collins worked with a bipartisan group of senators to craft the legislation that became law in February.

"We are pleased to announce this critical funding that will not only repair and improve water treatment facilities across Maine but will create crucial jobs in the process," Senators Snowe and Collins said. "By investing in rural infrastructure, these USDA programs will help Maine communities provide essential services, boost economic growth, and increase the quality of life for residents throughout the state."
