Town Meeting Members Voted For 5M Loan On Falmouth Wind Turbine II June 2009

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) into law on February 17, 2009

The largest ARRA programs under environment agencies are the State Revolving Funds for financing investments in drinking water and wastewater treatment facilities. Massachusetts' Department of Environmental Protection -- with the approval of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency -- has allocated all $185 million of the ARRA Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) money to 120 projects across the state. Municipalities will be completing the necessary permitting to receive these funds by the February 2010 deadline.

SRF is a low-interest loan program that helps make major investments in water infrastructure facilities affordable for municipalities, public water suppliers, and regional water and wastewater districts.
