Title: Earlington - Sewer System Improvements
KY201708161006
The City of Earlington is pursuing a Community Development Block Grant to match the current SRF loan they have received to perform wastewater system rehabilitation. The City began to look at a large scale rehabilitation project over the last couple of years due to increasingtreatment costs. The City of Earlington has a wholesale contract with the City of Madisonville for the treatment of their waste water. As thecity’s collection system deteriorated the cost of treatment has created severe financial difficulty for the city. The current state of the collectionsystem has led to large amounts of I & I (Inflow & Infiltration) to be sent to waste water treatment plant in Madisonville. Currently the wholesalesewer bill for the City of Earlington can fluctuate from $4000 a month to over $15,000 depending on the weather. This creates a severebudgeting problem for the city.This project will make improvements to the existing sewer collection system by finding and repairing damaged sewer mains within the system.The project will reduce in-flow and in-filtration and reduce the gallons per day being treated by the Madisonville WWTP. Project will concentrateon the clay pipe that is known to be located throughout the system. This project will repair or replace 11,500 ft +/- of clay tile with PVC.Within the last 10 years the City of Earlington undertook a large scale rehabilitation project in select portions of the city. This project did reducethe overall amount of I & I being collected and transported to the City of Madisonville, but the city needs to reduces the I & I collected evenfurther. The current project will concentrate efforts in the portions of the city where the original clay tile is still being utilized. The city will replaceor slip line approximately 11,500 linear feet of collection lines and rehabilitate or replace approximately 25 manholes in the course of the project.Any remaining funds will be used to continue replacing aging or deterior

Title: Tiered Housing Environmental Review
KY201709011064
The Hopkinsville Home Improvement Program (HHIP) provides for rehabilitation of existing structures located within the targeted areas of theCity of Hopkinsville. The targeted areas include the neighborhoods identified in the Inner-City Residential Enterprise Zone (ICREZ) Programwhich are also the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The level ofrehabilitation may vary from house to house and is based on an assessment by a Code Enforcement Officer that reviews the current structuralstate of the home. In many cases the homes are deemed to be beyond repair which means that it would require more than $25,000.00 or 25%of the current value of the home to rehabilitate the home in a traditional sense. If a home is deemed to be beyond repair under this program, thehomeowner can elect to undergo major rehabilitation which includes the demolition and reconstruction of the home. The goal of this program isto stabilize deteriorating neighborhoods, to instill pride in ownership, and improve the quality of owner occupied houses. Financial assistance forthis program is received through a blend of varied grant sources such as the CDBG Program.

Title: Old Kuttawa Sanitary Sewer Expansion
KY201709181127
The referenced sanitary sewer expansion and rehabilitation project involves installation of approximately 935 LF of 8 inch and 6 inch PVC sewermains and laterals along Olive Street, 6th Street, and Holly Lane in Old Kuttawa. This expansion will serve currently underserved portions ofOld Kuttawa. Approximately 750 LF of this project replaces undersized vitrified clay pipe (VCP). This sewer system has been subject to inflowand infiltration issues in the past. Implementation of this project would allow for sewer expansion to undeveloped lots within the area of OldKuttawa and would assist in reducing the area’s I/I through construction of modern sanitary sewer facilities.

FY 2018 Funding Advances
House Approves $14.2 Million Increase
for OAA Title III B Supportive Services
September 14, 2017
The two weeks since lawmakers returned to DC have seen a flurry of legislative activity
surrounding federal funding for FY 2018. Last week, Congress and the Administration
avoided an impending shutdown threat after passing a short-term spending bill in advance
of the September 30 end of FY 2017, but there are still many decisions to hash out before
finalizing FY 2018 federal funding. Currently, both the House and Senate have until
December 8 to either pass a final, long-term measure to keep federal dollars flowing
through the full fiscal year or figure out another temporary compromise. n4a’s recent
Legislative Update previewed what must-do’s are in store for Congress this fall, and while
some progress has been made at least toward avoiding government default and shutdown
at the end of the month, there is still a lengthy list of outstanding legislative priorities.
Status of FY 2018 Federal Funding
After a surprising concession from President Trump last week regarding the length of a debt
limit extension, Congress passed a bill, known as a continuing resolution (CR), to keep
federal programs funded at FY 2017 levels temporarily and to extend the debt limit until
December 8. Because a first installment of more than $15 billion in emergency funding for
Hurricane Harvey recovery was also included in the deal, lawmakers were able to hustle this
package to a speedy approval.
The CR means that funding for Older Americans Act and other aging programs will continue
at current levels through the first few months of FY 2018. This short-term funding
agreement gives Members some more time to continue advancing final FY 2018 funding
bills, but both lawmakers and advocates have a lot of work to do over the next two months
to reach agreement on a longer-term measure, and House and Senate proposals look very
different.
House Progress on Older Americans Act Funding
Appropriators in the House were first out of the gate with an FY 2018 OAA funding proposal.
In July, the full House Appropriations Committee passed a spending bill for the Departments
of Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies (Labor-HHS) that
would level fund most core OAA programs, but that would also eliminate funding for the
State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIPs) and drastically reduce funding for
senior workforce development and elder justice programs.
In an effort to restore “regular order” to the appropriations process, House leaders bundled
the eight remaining bills (out of a total of 12) into an “omnibus” package to advance it on
the House floor in the fastest possible way. The omnibus passed on a largely party-line vote
over Democratic objection to overall reduced funding for domestic programs and
controversial policy riders. The $1.23 trillion package, which now includes all 12 House-
passed measures, is now heading to the Senate. The austerity of the omnibus and the
policy riders, however, mean the Senate won’t take it up as is.
OAA III B Amendment Success!
Debate over the House FY 2018 omnibus bill was the first time in many years that the
Labor-HHS portion of the bill has been discussed on the House floor, which meant that
there was an opportunity for Members to offer amendments to the measure. As detailed in
our recent Advocacy Alerts, n4a has worked with several key offices to offer amendments to
increase funding for core OAA Title III programs to the levels that were agreed to in the
2016 OAA reauthorization.
Both Reps. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) and Martha McSally (R-AZ) offered amendments to
increase funding for Title III programs. Rep. Bonamici’s amendment, which would have
increased Title III B, C and E programs by a total of $51 million, failed on a voice vote on
Tuesday night.
House floor statements from Reps. Suzanne Bonamici, Bobby Scott (D-VA) and Barbara Lee
(D-CA) in support of OAA programs are viewable here: https://youtu.be/GIKlryhpzdE.
However, we are thrilled that today the House agreed by voice vote to adopt the
amendment from Rep. McSally to increase Title III B supportive services funding
by $14.2 million to authorized amounts. With the exception of a very modest $2.5
million increase for III B services achieved in FY 2017, this is the first significant increase
for these programs since they were slashed during sequestration, and it represents a major
advocacy win for the Aging Network!
Senate Progress on Older Americans Act Funding
On the other side of the Capitol, Senate appropriators also made progress on their funding
proposal for OAA and other aging programs. Last week both the subcommittee and full
Appropriations Committee introduced a bill that would entirely flat fund OAA and many
other aging programs at FY 2017 levels.
This bill rejects the House-proposed cuts to SHIP, SCSEP and Elder Justice
programs, and ultimately would maintain the status quo for aging funding in FY
2018. While flat funding is often felt as a cut for many local agencies, in this very difficult
budget environment, the Senate-proposed bill is also a major advocacy win. More details
about both the House and the Senate spending bills are available in n4a’s updated
Appropriations Chart.
Next Steps for FY 2018 Federal Funding
Whether or not lawmakers will be able to pass a full-year federal funding bill by December 8
depends on if they can reach a bipartisan agreement on overall spending levels. The end of
FY 2017 on September 30 is also the end of the current, two-year bipartisan budget
agreement that slightly raised budget caps and relieved both the pressure of and threat
from sequestration. Because achieving a full-year plan to keep the government running will
require support from at least some Senate Democrats, negotiators are discussing—though
no public progress has been made on—reaching another bipartisan budget deal to lift
current budget caps.
In the meantime, national and local aging advocates must respond to both the House and
Senate funding proposals. Ultimately, we want Congress to adopt the Senate-proposed
funding levels for SHIP, SCSEP, Elder Justice and several other key line-items that support
aging programs. We also want Congress to adopt the House-passed increase for OAA Title
III B programs, which is long overdue.
Stay tuned to n4a for updated resources and tools to use to promote both of these
messages. We also encourage you to reach out to your Members of Congress now to
secure meetings and site visits during the fall when they are back in their Districts and
States during recess!

Delta Regional Authority invests $1.7 million
to strengthen Kentucky’s economy, infrastructure
6 projects attract $5.6 million in total investments
FRANKFORT, KY. – The Delta Regional Authority and Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, together with their
federal and local-based partners, today announced $1.7 million in new DRA investments to strengthen
Kentucky’s infrastructure, workforce, and economy. DRA partnerships will support public and private
investments and bring a total of $5.6 million in new investments to Kentucky.
"Few things are more important to the health and vitality of a community than access to clean, safe water
and improved infrastructure for further economic growth and development,” said Gov. Bevin. “The
infrastructure we are developing in the delta region will be pivotal to fulfilling our goal of making
Kentucky the undisputed center of engineering and manufacturing excellence in America. We are grateful
for the DRA’s assistance as we make this region of Kentucky more attractive than ever before, and look
forward to the fresh opportunities this partnership will create.”
The investments were made through the DRA States’ Economic Development Assistance Program
(SEDAP), the agency’s main federal funding program that invests in basic public infrastructure,
transportation infrastructure and workforce development.
Kentucky is one of eight states to receive DRA investments. The agency’s total investments in the
Mississippi River Delta Region and Black Belt of Alabama will reach $20 million in 2017. With
contributions from public and private partners, total investments will be $231.6 million.
“DRA investments will support infrastructure improvements, health care enhancements and develop a
new workforce training program for displaced coal miners and other workers,” said Peter Kinder,
alternate federal co-chairman of DRA. “These projects will help create jobs, build communities, and
improve lives across rural areas in Kentucky and throughout the region, including Southern Illinois and
West Tennessee. This effort highlights DRA’s ability to build public-private partnerships to invest in the
future of the Delta region.”
DRA – KENTUCKY ECONOMIC INVESTMENTS:
1. CITY OF HENDERSON: South Waste Water Treatment Plant (SWWTP) Improvements. DRA Investment: $281,133. Total Investment: $2,311,133. This project will result in growth of operations and efficiency for SWWTP by installing working basins that do not require constant maintenance.
2. CITY OF CADIZ: Trigg County Hospital Improvements. DRA Investment: $155,550. Total Investment: $455,550. The hospital will add a hallway and construct four new private patient rooms to be utilized as swing-bed rooms. Specialized wound care, IV therapy, orthopedic rehabilitation, or stroke rehabilitation are circumstances that arise often after acute hospital stays are considered complete. A swing-bed program allows patients to recover in a hospital setting, versus a nursing home, or returning too soon to home care.
3. PADUCAH: Riverport Cargo Yard Improvements. DRA Investment: $307,000. Total Investment: $427,000. This investment will pave the cargo yard to ensure safe transit for existing and increased truck traffic at the facility and support container-on-barge operations. The project will increase the economic viability of the community and region by enhancing the riverport’s ability to serve a larger variety of customers and help attract new industry.
4. CITY OF MADISONVILLE: Workforce Training. DRA Investment: $180,629. Total Investment: $313,676. Madisonville Community College will create a lineman training program to serve the current and future employment and training needs of utilities companies and contractors in the Delta Region. The training program will allow utilities companies to recruit from the regional labor force, particularly targeting displaced coal miners – a population which is growing in the region – and high school graduates who do not intend to pursue a post-secondary credential. The program will reach workers in Southern Illinois and West Tennessee.
5. CITY OF HICKMAN: Wastewater Infrastructure Improvements. DRA Investment: $400,000. Total Investment: $1,600,000. DRA’s investment will support the city’s malfunctioning wastewater plant, allowing it to better serve residents and businesses.
6. CITY OF GREENVILLE: Wastewater Infrastructure Improvements. DRA Investment: $400,000. Total Investment: $450,000. This project will give Greenville the infrastructure it needs to provide wastewater treatment services for local businesses and residents.
DRA coordinates directly with Kentucky’s planning and development districts for program funding
implementation. In addition, the agency works closely with Gov. Bevin and his board designee to identify
projects to receive SEDAP investments, which are aligned with state economic development goals. These
federal investments require a minimal investment of state funds that can bring a large return in DRA and
other agency funding and result in a greater economic impact for West Kentucky.
About The Delta Regional Authority
The Delta Regional Authority is a federal-state partnership created by Congress in 2000 to help create
jobs, build communities, and improve lives through strategic investments in economic development in
252 counties and parishes across eight states. To date, the DRA’s SEDAP investments, together with its
state and local partners, have leveraged more than $3.7 billion in public and private investment into local
small business owners, entrepreneurs, workers, and infrastructure development projects. These
investments have helped create or retain more than 37,000 jobs, trained more than 7,300 workers for 21st
Century jobs and provided water and sewer service to more than 66,000 residents since DRA was
established. Learn more at dra.gov.

LEGISLATIVE NEWS
House Advances FY2018 Budget Resolutions This week, the House approved a fiscal year (FY) 2018 budget resolution that paves the way for
consideration of a tax code overhaul. The budget resolution, passed on a 219 to 206 vote, instructs
lawmakers to identify $203 billion in extra savings over 10 years. While the Senate Budget Committee
approved their version of a FY2018 budget resolution this week, it has not yet come to the floor. Passage
of a budget resolution is necessary to advance tax reform through the budget reconciliation process, which
allows passage in the Senate with only a simple majority vote.
NADO and NARC Urge Funding for Recovery in Hurricane-Impacted States, Territories Earlier today, NADO and the National Association of Regional Councils (NARC) sent a letter to House
and Senate Appropriations committees to encourage funding for the U.S. Economic Development
Administration (EDA) to assist hurricane-impacted states and territories in long-term economic recovery
efforts. Within the National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF), EDA is identified as the lead agency
on recovery planning, project implementation, and redevelopment through the Recovery Support
Function (RSF). In the coming weeks, Congress will consider a supplemental appropriations bill to assist
Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands which have been devastated by recent hurricanes.
The letter is available here.

The Pennyrile ADD assisted the Todd County Fiscal Court and Todd County Board of Health in obtaining a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant for the project.
The Delta Regional Authority (DRA) and Governor Ma Bevin, together with their federal and local‐based partners, awarded funds to three
projects in the Pennyrile Area Development District. The City of Greenville received funding for wastewater infrastructure improvements in the amount of $400,000.

The Trigg County Hospital was awarded $155,550 to construct a new hallway with four private pa ent rooms to be u lized as swing‐bed rooms. A swing‐bed program allows pa ents to recover in a hospital se ng, versus a nursing home, or returning home too soon to home care. Madisonville Community College will receive funding in the amount of $180,629 to create a lineman training program.
