The state is being allocated the funding to deploy or upgrade broadband networks to ensure that everyone has access to reliable, affordable, high-speed internet service.
Western North Carolina was especially hard-hit, with significant damage to roadways from flash flooding, landslides, road washouts and bridge collapses.
Applicants can secure funding through three main topical areas: Carbon Capture Demonstration, Carbon Capture Large-Scale Pilot Projects and Infrastructure Planning and Design.
This funding will go toward projects focused on identifying and replacing lead service lines threatening residents’ drinking water in disadvantaged and underserved communities.
The project will develop upgrades to the city’s wastewater treatment facilities, including updates to the city's aging Water Pollution Control Facility.
