Interest-free repayment and 100-year term for Arkansas Valley Conduit construction
This Act modifies the repayment terms for the Arkansas Valley Conduit project in Colorado, significantly easing the financial burden on local entities. Key changes include eliminating interest on the repayment amount and extending the repayment period to 100 years. The repayment will now only cover funds provided by non-federal sources during the construction phase, making the project more affordable and facilitating the completion of this vital water infrastructure for local communities.
