HuntingtonƵs wastewater treatment plant is the stateƵs largest, according to Brian Bracey, executive director of the Huntington Water Quality Board.
The city is planning a $150 million upgrade to the plant, along with several other projects for the cityƵs wastewater treatment system.
Bracey and Huntington officials said Friday the project isnƵt just about infrastructure Ƶ itƵs about how strategic investments can secure the economic future of a city and its residents.
The City of Huntington and the Huntington Water Quality Board have also unveiled the results of an economic impact study conducted by Chmura Economics & Analytics.

ƵThis is an investment in our communityƵs future,Ƶ Bracey said. ƵThe findings from this study confirm that our efforts will yield substantial economic benefits, ensuring Huntington remains a vibrant, thriving city for generations to come.Ƶ
