FY 2026 COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING REQUESTS

Greene County for Water & Wastewater Expansion Project

Recipient: Greene County, Indiana

Address: WestGate@Crane Technology Park 13598 East WestGate Dr., Odon, IN 47562

Amount: $15 million

Project Description and Purpose: The transformational project at WestGate@Crane includes the construction of a new wastewater 300,000 gpd treatment plant, upgrades to both the water & wastewater collection systems, enhancements to the wellfields supplying water to the park, and an upgraded water main from the wellfields to the technology park. These improvements are not only essential for supporting the existing capacity needs within the park but will also set the stage for future expansion to support ongoing investment within the surrounding area.

The project also includes transitioning the Town of Crane’s wastewater treatment from NSA Crane to the new 300,000 gpd facility proposed at WestGate. The project involves replacing the laterals and mains serving the town, a new lift station, and a main extension to the new treatment facility. This improvement was recommended by the 2017 Joint Land Use Study to address the inflow & infiltration (I&I) impacts to NSA Crane, provide mission expansion capability, and benefit the small town of Crane through a consortium approach.

The project helps meet or maintain Clean Water Act/Safe Drinking Water Act standards by improving the water and wastewater infrastructure supporting the WestGate Technology Park and the Town of Crane.
