MADISON — Governor Tony Evers today announced the award of nearly $17 million in grants to 18 municipalities across Wisconsin to fund public improvement projects. The grants, which are administered by the Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) and are called Community Development Block Grant Public Facility (CDBG-PF) grants, award funds for critical public infrastructure projects in low- to moderate-income communities with populations of 50,000 or fewer throughout the state. Projects include improvements, repairs, or expansions of streets, drainage systems, water and sewer systems, and sidewalks.
