Jun. 10—Clark, Clinton and Greene counties will receive a combined $4.3 million in grant awards from a state program designed to help communities improve water infrastructure.

The largest of those grants will go to Greene County, which will receive $2.5 million develop a 57-acre property into a groundwater-producing wellfield. The goal is to expand the area’s available water supply.
