| BACKGROUND: |
The City of Gillette has received grant funding for three sets of projects so far to connect water districts within the Designated Service Area (DSA). Priorities One and Two have been fully funded for both design and construction, with the construction being complete on the Priority One connections. The Priority Three connections have received funding for design and right-of-way acquisition.
This grant application is for construction funding for the Priority Three connections (Crestview, Freedom Hills, American Road, and Meadow Springs). It will also seek funding for design and right-of-way acquisition for the Priority Four connections (Rozet Ranchettes and Fox Ridge). |
| ACTUAL COST VS. BUDGET: |
To date, the City of Gillette has received $9,031,600.00 in grant funding from the WWDC to cover 67% of project costs to connect water districts to the Gillette Regional Water Supply Project. The remaining 33% of project costs are covered by the Capital Facilities Tax.
This grant application seeks to increase grant funding by $2,563,857.32 for a total grant allocation for district extension projects of $11,595,457.32. |
