AUSTIN – (July 23, 2015) – The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) today approved by resolution financial assistance in the amount of $410,000 from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund to the City of Hudson (Angelina County). The City will be able to finance planning and design costs associated with replacing its wastewater treatment plant.
