Impact analysis
About $2.2 million in design costs, with construction financed by state EFC borrowing and offset by over $18 million in grant awards for Liberty Street.
Everyone who flushes — these projects prevent sewer overflows, fix a collapsed line and rebuild a main corridor.
The 20% local match would draw on city funds if the grant is awarded.
