Several Eastern Kentucky counties will be getting help with water or power infrastructure thanks to some state funding going into the Coal Fields Regional Economic Development Authority.
WYMT reports the Kentucky Product Development Initiative has awarded $4.2 million to the Coal Fields REDA that will help Perry, Knott and Breathitt counties.
The Executive Director of the Hazard Perry County Economic Development Alliance says the money will go toward a second water treatment plant for Perry County to add another three million gallons of water per day
