President Biden’s infrastructure bill will mean millions of dollars directed to the states for various projects.  Kate Balz is the Nebraska state director with the USDA Rural Development and recently was invited to participate in a zoom meeting with White House officials.  Balz informed Biden administration officials the need for clean water quality for rural areas.

Balz tells of an example how a small town in Southern Nebraska has utilized USDA Rural Development funds to help finance a water quality project.

Balz says Nebraskans will soon see the benefits from the infrastructure bill as money flows into the Cornhusker state.
