$843,000 to Cheatham County and the Cheatham County Water and Wastewater Authority, Ashland City, Tennessee, to construct a wastewater treatment plant that is critical to serve nine industrial facilities in the Cheatham County Industrial Park. This project will mitigate the economic impacts of recent flooding on wastewater treatment. The plant is the sole wastewater treatment facility in Cheatham County and its failure would be extremely detrimental to regional economic activity. This investment is part of a $1.054 million project that the grantees estimate will create 35 jobs, save 810 jobs, and generate $12.25 million in private investment.
