Water system improvements along Rt. 2 in Beech Bottom got a boost from the West Virginia Infrastructure and Jobs Development Council last week.
The project, which is expected to cost $2 million, was one of five projects which received approval of a technical review and request to pursue funding.
The approval of those reviews and requests helps cities, municipalities and public service districts is designed to save taxpayer money and keep their projects moving.
The IJDC was created by the West Virginia Legislature in 1994 to serve as a funding clearinghouse for water and wastewater projects around the state.
Gov. Jim Justice serves as council chairman, with his deputy chief of staff Ann Urling serving as his designee.
