NC Gov. Beverly Perdue announced Friday that nearly $46 million will be awarded to 36 communities in 30 North Carolina counties for wastewater and stormwater projects from the first-round distribution of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act monies by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

Among the local and regional projects, as reported by the Triangle Business Journal:

• Raleigh receives $465,785 to build rainwater collection and reuse systems at city fire stations;
• Roxboro, north of Durham in Person County, gets $465,548 for a sewer system rehabilitation project;
• Wilson, located about an hour east of Raleigh, receives $1.39 million for various sewer system improvements;
• Mebane, which straddles the Orange/Alamance county line, gets $230,000 to replace a sewer outfall on Ninth Street; and
• Moore County, located south of Raleigh and part of the 13-country Triangle area, gets $3 million for three lift stations at Pinehurst Lake.

It’s nice to see the money filtering down, and some benefit to both the local infrastructure and economy.
