Overview

This project will provide for the construction of a new Wastewater Treatment Plant in the community of New Salisbury. The new wastewater treatment plant will support the expansion of workforce housing in the area, specifically the Kepley Fields Housing Development. The infrastructure work is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2023 and completed within one year. This project will be carried out by the Harrison County Regional Sewer District, which has committed to providing the $1.2 million match required to complete the wastewater treatment plant beyond the READI funded share. The private investment will be completed in partnership with Steve Thieneman Builders and will be completed by the end of 2026. This READI project will lead to the full development of the 38-acre Kepley Fields Development with 70 single family home parcels, 2 large multi-family parcels and 5 commercial parcels. Additionally, two 24 unit multi-family buildings and 30 patio homes will be constructed. The total private investment is estimated to be $40,648,000. By constructing a new, more efficient wastewater treatment plant to replace the existing traditional plant, energy usage will be reduced as the number of pumps is reduced.
