Still not out of the water

Georgetown still needs to come up with $600,000 to $800,000 to construct a wastewater treatment plant according to Town Council President Billy Stewart. The Floyd County town was awarded a $3.5 million federal stimulus grant Wednesday for constructing the plant; Stewart estimates the total price tag will likely be between $4.1 million and $4.3 million when property acquisition and permit costs are figured in to the equation. Georgetown also has to account for an estimated $150,000 owed to the construction contractor for the plant due to delays in getting the facility started as stipulated by the contract
