County commissioners on Wednesday, March 29, approved about $19.5 million in loans from the infrastructure bank program for seven municipal road, stormwater and sewer projects.

In a related move, the commissioners agreed to solicit proposals from banks and other financial institutions for a loan to cover the cost of the projects.

With the addition of those seven projects, the infrastructure bank program has helped pay for $62 million in projects, said Mark Gordon, the county chief of economic development and planning. The program began in 2018.
