Catawba Regional Council of Governments is pleased to share that the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) has awarded Area Development funding to the City of Union to support sewer infrastructure improvements, which will enable the establishment of a manufacturing company.
The ARC selects projects for funding annually through a competitive process. The City of Union received an ARC grant of $921,600 for the Trakas Industrial Site Sewer Improvements. Local funds of $230,400 will be provided, for a total project cost of $1,152,000. This investment will create 60 new jobs.
We appreciate the opportunity to assist localities with projects that improve community sustainability, public health, and long-term growth across the Catawba Region.
Congratulations to the City of Union on this important award!
