From The Pueblo Chieftain (John Norton):
State and local officials were on hand Tuesday as ground was broken for a new wastewater treatment plant that will end the town’s noncompliance problems and provide for residential and commercial growth as more people come to work at the nearby Pueblo Chemical Depot. Most of the $1.6 million project was financed by Community Development Block Grant funds that came from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Boone borrowed $315,000 from the Colorado Water and Power Development Authority for its share and a $10,000 planning grant was provided by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
