The Texas Water Development Board is holding a period of public review and comment on the Economically Distressed Areas Program Intended Use Plan, which includes a list of prioritized projects requesting EDAP financial assistance. The period of public review and comment begins August 23 and ends on September 6. Two options are available for submitting comments:
- Complete the EDAP Project Prioritization Microsoft Form
- Email comments to EDAP-IUPcomments@twdb.texas.gov
The TWDB reviewed the abridged applications submitted in May for the available EDAP financial assistance to assess eligibility and prioritize the applications according to the methodology outlined in the EDAP Intended Use Plan. The scoring criteria allows for the prioritization of residential projects providing first-time service and projects that will resolve public health nuisances and/or violations related to contaminants. The TWDB anticipates funding projects on the proposed prioritized list using up to an estimated $100 million in bonds.
