Statesboro, Ga. — U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is delivering new resources to upgrade Bulloch County’s water infrastructure.
Today Sen. Ossoff announced he is delivering new resources to install a new sewer force main to strengthen infrastructure and services for unserved and underserved areas of Bulloch County.
Sen. Ossoff brought Republicans and Democrats together to deliver $1,000,000 for the project through this year’s bipartisan government funding package, working alongside Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock.
“With Hyundai’s new plant under construction, there’s an urgent need to expand water infrastructure for families and businesses in Coastal Georgia. I successfully brought Republicans and Democrats in Congress together to deliver funding to help upgrade Bulloch County’s water infrastructure to support economic growth and expand opportunity for families,” Sen. Ossoff said. “I thank Chairman Roy Thompson and the Bulloch County Commission for bringing this proposal to my office and for their leadership in the community.”
“We are delighted that through the cooperation of Senator Jon Ossoff and Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock, Bulloch County has secured $1 million in FY24 Congressionally Directed Spending for the County’s wastewater construction and expansion project,” said Bulloch County Chairman Roy Thompson. “Our collaboration with the Senators will allow the County to establish an affordable, safe, and healthy utility system.”
“These funds for wastewater infrastructure are vital to the County’s growth, housing choices and environment. Our congressional collaboration and relationships formed with Senator Ossoff and Senator Warnock are essential as Bulloch County becomes more active in seeking federal resources for different kinds of infrastructure that will be needed in the future,” Bulloch County Commissioner Curt Deal said.
“We are grateful to Senator Ossoff and Senator Warnock for their assistance,” said Bulloch County Commissioner Anthony Simmons. “Their staff in both Washington D.C. and in Georgia have also been very helpful to make sure our proposals were competitive and impactful.”
