Lodgepole has received a $350,000 CDBG grant to build new wastewater lagoon and expand the entire lagoon system to allow for complete retiontion from the Nebraska Department of Economic Development. PADD assisted in writing the grant proposal.
Lodgepole currently operates two wastewater treatment lagoons a half mile southeast of the village. Built in 1956, the lagoons have remained essentially in their original condition, with no known improvements made for the past 42 years. Sludge build-up has greatly limited the system’s storage capacity. Lodgepole also has been approved for $1,133,787 in grants and loans from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development to complete the project.
Federal funds are made available to DED from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s CDBG program to assist with the development of businesses and communities throughout the state. Funding requests for this program are administered by DED and are available to local Nebraska governments and counties with populations less than 50,000.
