(KAIR)--The City of Valley Falls has one of what's called "16 vital projects" across Kansas that will be funded through more than $8.7 million in Community Development Block Grant funds awarded to support those projects.

According to a release from the Kansas Department of Commerce, Valley Falls receives a $650,000 Water and Sewer grant for the rehabilitation of the City's sanitary sewer system, with those funds allocated through the total amount awarded, with the release saying the 16 "investments will continue to enhance the quality of life and infrastructure in rural and low-to moderate-income communities" in the state.

The awarded funding of $8.7 million, the release explains, is matched by nearly $5 million in local investments, resulting in a combined total of more than $13.7 million to be used for public improvements across the state.

The release notes that "the funded projects demonstrate how the CDBG dollars are helping communities address urgent needs, support economic development and create spaces that improve everyday life for Kansas residents."

Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce, David Toland, in the release says the grants "give local organizations the resources needed to create tailored solutions that improve infrastructure, quality of place and more, resulting in stronger local economies and more vibrant towns across the Sunflower State.”
