The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has recently announced the list of approved loan authorizations for the 2009 fiscal year. Made available as part of the federal economic stimulus package, the 32 loan authorizations, totalling more than $77 million, will enable localities to pay for water and sewer projects. According to DEQ spokesman Bill Hayden, “This is federal money that Virginia will be able to put to use very quickly to get some much needed projects moving and put people to work.” The majority of the projects are anticipated to begin by Fall 2009.
