The plan to extend water and sewer lines along M-139 in Oronoko Township is moving along with little opposition. The details on how to pay for the $4.8-million project were shared Tuesday night. Township Supervisor Mike Hildebrand says the plan is to get the town ready for the future, he cites the expo arena project as an example.
Andrews University, the Berrien County Youth Fair, the Village of Berrien Springs and a group of private landowners are each giving a half-million-dollars for the project. Hildebrand says only 5% of the total funding needed for the project remains to be found.
Asking money from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development Agency is one way to fill that void. Voting on a grant application is expected in the next few weeks. Construction on the meat of the project is set for the spring of 2014.
