Announcement:  Grants and low interest loans Workshop/Meeting for very low and low-income homeowners who need sewer access where sewer is available.  I have invited Representative(s) from the United States Department of Agriculture to a meeting on March 13, at 7pm in these             Commission Chambers.  Citizens may qualify for grants or low interest loans.  This is especially important to citizens of Wakulla Gardens and other  subdivisions where the county is bringing in sewer.  I encourage all citizens who are facing sewer hook up to attend.
