Jackson, Ky. Awarded $13 Million for New Wastewater Treatment Plant

Jackson, Ky., has been awarded $13 million to build a new wastewater treatment plant after a flood damaged the city’s current plant in 2022.

Governor Andy Beshear states that the new wastewater plant will be built outside the flood plain to avoid a similar situation.

“The existing plant suffered major damage in the floods, so this will not only help in the operations of the system but make sure if there is future flooding that the infrastructure is safe and able to operate and reduce risk. We're going to them to build a new plant, protecting the city and surrounding waterways,” said Beshear.
