The newly approved $27.9 billion budget that Gov. Roy Cooper signed into law this week includes funding for several local projects, according to a press statement from Rep. Terry Garrison, who represents District 32 that comprises Vance, Warren and Granville counties.
- The City of Henderson will receive $5 million for water and wastewater infrastructure projects;
- Vance County will receive $500,000 for local government projects;
- Warren County will receive a $6 million grant from the Needs-Based Public School Capital Fund.
“I am glad to see this level of funding returning to the district,” Garrison said in the statement. “Water and sewer infrastructure is essential and this money will be well spent by Henderson. I am also excited that Warren County will receive a grant from the Department of Public Instruction to improve our public schools. Investments in education are one of the most important priorities I have.”
