LODGEPOLE, Neb. (AP) _ The community of Lodgepole has been awarded a $350,000 grant to improve its wastewater treatment system. The money comes from a Community Development Block Grant handed out by the Nebraska Department of Economic Development.

Lodgepole currently has two wastewater treatment lagoons southeast of the village. The Economic Development department says no improvements have been made since they were built in 1956.

The grant money will be used to build a new lagoon and expand the existing lagoon system. Lodgepole has also been approved for $1.1 million in federal grants and loans to complete the project.
