This Wednesday, the House Natural Resources, Tourism and Outdoor Recreation Committee is expected to vote on a package of bills that would expand the current state-based Strategic Water Quality Initiatives Loan Program. HB’s 5673-5676 are tie-barred and together would expand the pool of eligible communities to allow for more access to funding for disadvantaged communities. The League is in support of the four bill package.
