RCD Technical Assistance-The project will benefit communities with populations under 10,000 by providing T&TA to develop drinking water/wastewater facilities and efficiently manage and maintain them. - Great Lakes Community Action Partnership (GLCAP) will use RCD funds to continue operating a technical assistance program that supports water and wastewater infrastructure development in rural, low-income communities across Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The project will provide onsite technical assistance and both virtual and in-person training to help small communities build and sustain water and sewer systems. Services will focus on improving technical, managerial, and financial capacity, especially in areas facing economic hardship and geographic isolation. The program targets communities with populations under 10,000 and median family incomes below 80% of the statewide median, aiming to improve health, safety, and economic well-being for thousands of rural residents across the Great Lakes region, as well as greater development potential in the communities assisted.
