Alpha Drinking Water Improvements
Location: 145 Main Street N., Alpha, MN, 56111
Project Sponsor: City of Alpha
Requested Amount: $4,112,098
Use of Funds and Justification:
The funding would be used for the design and construction of a water treatment plant and a water distribution system.
The project is an appropriate use of taxpayer funds because this project will ensure that residents have safe and adequate drinking water. Alpha is a small, rural community that needs assistance with infrastructure costs to make this project feasible and affordable for its residents. As a result, funding for this infrastructure project will help maintain affordable housing costs, a critical need in rural America, while also supporting businesses in nearby Jackson, MN.
