The purpose of this grant is to support Surry County’s efforts to install 13,200+ L.F. of water line and sewer force main from Elkin’s existing water and sewer systems to the proposed location site of Fibrowatt, a bio-fuels power generating company. Fibrowatt has committed to locate in Surry County near Elkin and will invest $140,000,000 and create 35 full time jobs, along with creating indirect jobs in the trucking industry and a waste market for chicken farmers.
