State Awards Water Quality Improvement Projects

State Awards Water Quality Improvement Projects The grants total $965

Soil and Water Conservation Districts across Indiana have been awarded over $1 million to improve water quality. The funding comes from the Clean Water Indiana grant program and is administered by the Indiana State Department of Agriculture. 

The CWI program is funded mostly by Indiana’s cigarette tax revenue and helps conservation districts reduce water pollution. Districts were also encouraged to partner with neighboring districts to leverage additional resources. 

“This year alone, Clean Water Indiana has supported 373 conservation projects and prevented more than 63 million pounds of sediment from entering our waterways,” said Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch, Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “These grants are critical to shoring up the work being done by Indiana’s conservation districts and provide opportunities for farmers that otherwise would not exist.”

Did the Federal Reserve stick the (soft) landing?

Did the Federal Reserve stick the (soft) landing?

When Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell began increasing interest rates in early 2022, few economists predicted a resilient economic response. It wasn't a matter of "if" we would be pushed into a recession but how bad the recession would be. Nearly two years into the steepest increase in interest rates in over 40 years, can we now say we've achieved a soft landing? Or is this a delayed economic response with a 2024 recession certain to come?...
