A Marathon County community will get a much-needed financial boost from the federal government.
This week, the USDA announced it will give the Village of Maine, just north of Wausau, about $1.5 million in grants and loans.
That’s to improve a deteriorating wastewater system.
Maine absorbed the former village of Brokaw not long after the community’s backbone, the Wausau Paper mill, closed down in 2012.
Maine also got $4 million from the USDA in 2017 to drill new wells.
