JACKSON, MI – The city of Jackson is moving ahead with plans to overhaul its wastewater treatment plant, with capital improvement projects planned for the nearly century-old facility.
The Jackson City Council approved a resolution at its Tuesday, May 11 virtual meeting that supports applying for a state-backed loan to fund the project’s design and construction.
The city will apply for a Michigan Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan to fund the renovations, for an estimated $6.44 million.
