In news today…

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) Commissioner David Salyers today announced a $10 million loan in the State Revolving Fund Loan Program for the City of Cleveland to improve water infrastructure.

The loan is one of two approved by the Tennessee Local Development Authority, with loans for Cleveland and Woodbury totaling $10.8 million. 

Cleveland’s loan comes from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund Loan Program. The loan addresses infiltration and inflow correction within the city’s sewer collection system. The loan has a 20-year term at 0.73 percent interest.

Through the State Revolving Fund Loan Program, communities, utility districts, and water and wastewater authorities can obtain loans with lower interest rates than through private financing. These low-interest-rate loans can vary from zero percent to below market rate, based on each community’s economic health.
