Fort Smith Times Record
The city of Fort Smith received more than $10.6 million of an expected $21.2 million in American Rescue Plan federal funding, and some of that could be used for sewer line work required in the city s federal consent decree.
The city s board of directors was notified by city management Wednesday of the funds. There are regulations on how the funds can be spent, and infrastructure for water/sewer is included, Fort Smith s Deputy City Administrator Jeff Dingman wrote in an email to the Times Record. Staff is working on how those funds might be incorporated into the project and rate planning we already have underway.
