One-time $13,215 General Fund grant to Milton (Caswell Co.) via OSBM for wastewater pump station repairs, effective July 1, 2025, to safeguard local wastewater service.
Status snapshot
- Short title: Funds for Town of Milton
- Jurisdiction: North Carolina General Assembly (Session 2025)
- Sponsor: Representative Price (per introduced text)
- Introduced / First read: Feb 26–27, 2025 (filed and read in House)
- Current procedural note (as provided): Withdrawn from committee (see Notes)
- Effective date in text: July 1, 2025
Purpose and intent
- Provide a small, targeted state grant to support urgent repairs at the Town of Milton’s wastewater pump station. The measure is intended to help a local municipality address infrastructure needs that affect wastewater collection and treatment services.
Key provisions
- Appropriation: One-time, nonrecurring appropriation of $13,215 from the State General Fund to the Office of State Budget and Management (OSBM).
- Use of funds: OSBM is directed to provide the amount as a directed grant to the Town of Milton specifically for repairs at the town’s wastewater pump station.
- Effective date: The act becomes effective July 1, 2025 (so funds apply to FY 2025–2026).
Who would be affected
- Direct beneficiary: Town of Milton (Caswell County), which receives the directed grant and will use it for wastewater pump station repairs.
- State: Minor one-time impact on the General Fund; administrative handling by the Office of State Budget and Management.
- Local residents and businesses in Milton: Potentially benefit from maintained wastewater service, reduced risk of service interruptions, and avoidance of environmental or public‑health issues linked to pump station failure.
Fiscal impact
- State fiscal cost: $13,215 (one-time, nonrecurring) charged to the General Fund for FY 2025–26.
- Local fiscal impact: No local match specified; the grant reduces the Town’s immediate capital outlay need for this repair.
Timeline / procedural aspects
- Effective July 1, 2025 if enacted.
- The bill text is brief and narrowly targeted; it requires OSBM to disburse the grant.
- Procedural history in the provided materials indicates readings and referrals in early 2025; a separate status note indicates the bill was later “Withdrawn From Com.” Users should check the legislature’s official bill history for the current status.
Notes / context
- This is a directed/local appropriation (sometimes called a “directed grant”) for a single small infrastructure project.
- Because the appropriation is small and one-time, broader budgetary or policy impacts are negligible; primary effect is operational/practical relief for the Town of Milton.
