When talk of economic development turns to infrastructure, highways and broadband internet service often dominate the conversation locally, but you canât forget about sewers.
Businesses in the Kyle Lane area north of Huntington along W.Va. Route 2 canât forget about sewers. The lack of public sewer service has been a problem in that area for nearly 20 years.
But help is on the way.
Two days ago, the federal Economic Development Administration awarded a $2.5 million grant to the Pea Ridge Public Service District to extend sanitary sewer service from the Barboursville area over to Route 2. The new line will connect local residences, the Alcon factory and a nearby industrial park to public sewer service.
