Dorchester Awarded $250,000 For Drainage Project


The Dorchester Times has learned that the Village of Dorchester has been awarded a quarter of $1 million by the Nebraska Department of Economic Development today for its planned water drainage project.

Dorchester was one of seven Nebraska communities that received $1,416,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to pursue projects in the public works and water/wastewater categories. 

Dorchester will receive $250,000 to install pipe to improve surface water drainage off of municipal streets. The Village will finance an additional $83,200 to complete the project. 

We salute Dorchester leaders for their aggressive pursuit of this valuable funding.  The project is a long term investment in our community.

  7. Wow! It is very disheartening to know that something so positive as our Village being the recipient of a quarter of a million dollars in grant money can turn into something like the last few comments. Dorchester, you deserve a pat on the back. Congratulations!!
