Those improvements included hooking up 84 single-family homes to the county water system, paving roads in both subdivisions, and making drainage improvements in both subdivisions In total, 151 lots benefitted from the road paving and drainage improvements. The closeout package for the Wabasso Neighborhood Revitalization CDBG has been submitted to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for their review.
