Commonwealth Engineers Assists with $43 Million in Critical Infrastructure Funding Through House Bill 900

House Bill 900 represents a major statewide infrastructure investment, drawing from Kentucky’s Budget Reserve Trust Fund to address critical water, wastewater, and environmental needs. Commonwealth Engineers developed, submitted, and secured a combined $43 million for Kentucky communities through this legislation. These funds were made possible through the leadership and support of the Kentucky General Assembly. The joint effort reflects a shared commitment to protecting public health and safety, strengthening essential infrastructure, and preparing local systems for long-term growth.

Through this effort, several communities secured significant funding. The City of Albany received $17 million to support construction of a new water treatment plant, a transformative investment that will increase system capacity and reliability. The City of Cadiz was awarded $1.38 million for the planning and design of a new wastewater treatment plant, while the City of Clinton received $4.118 million for wastewater system improvements. The Monroe County Water District secured $6.6 million for a comprehensive water system improvement project. Lastly, the Allen County Fiscal Court secured $404,000 to install a leachate collection system at the Allen County Transfer Station, addressing environmental protection and operational needs.

Collectively, these investments highlight how strategic planning, technical expertise, and strong legislative support can translate into meaningful funding. House Bill 900 positioned the Cities of Albany, Greenville, Cadiz, Clinton, the Allen County Fiscal Court, and the Monroe County Water District for improved infrastructure resilience and sustainable growth in the years ahead.

Commonwealth Engineers is deeply grateful to the Kentucky General Assembly for its vision and commitment in appropriating these funds to support critical infrastructure improvements that will benefit Kentucky communities for years to come.
