The Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (MPFA) has announced more than $60.3 million in loans and grants has been awarded to 17 wastewater and drinking water infrastructure projects throughout the state.
MPFA awards funds to help cities build public infrastructure that protects the environment and public health, promoting economic growth. Since its inception in 1987, MPFA has financed nearly $6.1 billion in public infrastructure projects, impacting most every community in Minnesota.
Among the projects included in this round of funding was the community of Ellsworth, which was awarded $1,926,000 for the creation of a connection from that city to the Lincoln-Pipestone Rural Water system.
