Sea Isle gets $3.5 million in federal grants

Sea Isle City was awarded more than $3.5 million in federal grants and loans from the USDA Thursday to be used to on the sewer system, U.S. Rep. Frank LoBiondo said.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture will send the city a $1,059,000 grant and a $2,514,000 low interest loan, LoBiondo, R-2nd, announced in a release. Sea Isle City will pay the loan back over 40 years at 3.75 percent interest.
Money will be spent on replacing and expanding parts of the old and undersized sewer lines.
“Replacing deteriorated pipes and improving infiltration of the system will ensure the public’s health and safety are maintained,” LoBiondo said.
