Nearly two-dozen cities, villages and towns across the state are getting some extra funding to fix roads and utilities.

The state announced 20 Community Development Block Grant-Public Facility awards last week totalling $19.7 million.

Winners include Crandon, Ladysmith, Port Edwards, Waupun, New Lisbon and more.  CDBG recipients must be from low- to medium-income communities with 50,000 people or fewer.

Almost all of the grants are for $1 million.  Click HERE to review the recipients list.
