Return to County CDBG Program
Summary
Wasco is applying for up to $3.6 million in state CDBG money — $300K for the PAL youth facility and $3.3 million for a 1.5-million-gallon second water tank. Staff says the tank's added storage could support about 400 new homes, though a new well is still needed down the road.
