Indiana Communities Receiving Water Infrastructure Grants

(AP) — More than $8 million in federal grants will be shared among twelve rural Indiana communities to improve their wastewater systems.

Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs announced the grants Thursday.
