NASHVILLE - State Representative Clark Boyd (R-Lebanon) and State Senator Mark Pody (R-Lebanon) today announced two Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) totaling more than $1 million for water system upgrades in Cannon County and the City of Woodbury.

The funding will assist with the purchase of new water tanks and was allocated under a procedure authorized by the Tennessee General Assembly based on priorities set at local levels where community needs are best known.

"This investment made by the Tennessee Department of Economic & Community Development will have a tremendous impact on the people of Woodbury and Cannon County," said Representative Boyd. "There is a critical need for new water tanks in these areas, and I am very excited to see these projects get funded. It was a privilege to work with Senator Pody and many others from TNECD to secure these grant dollars."

"Quality and sound infrastructure is essential to our community as we work to create an environment in our area that is attractive for new businesses to locate here," said Senator Pody. "These grants serve a vital role in the economic development of rural areas across Tennessee and I am grateful for the state's commitment to seeing ­­­­ Cannon ­­­­County and Woodbury succeed."
