In another award presentation, Legg and State Director Slone joined Mayor
Don Phelps of Science Hill and members of the Pulaski County Fiscal Court to
mark the awarding of $1.5 million in funds to be used for the construction
of 27 miles of waterlines, 2 storage tanks of 400,000 gallons total, and a
booster pump station in the Science Hill community. Administrator Legg told
the group that adequate infrastructure is essential for economic development
in our rural communities. "One of the best parts of my job at RUS is being
able to serve the people that I hold near and dear in rural America through
projects like this one that will build infrastructure and ensure there is
enough safe, clean water," said Legg.
