WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 El Senador de EE. UU. de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, anunci\u00f3 hoy que el Distrito de Agua de Tualatin Valley (TVWD) y el gobierno federal han llegado a nuevos t\u00e9rminos de pr\u00e9stamos para infraestructura de agua, lo que ahorrar\u00e1 a los contribuyentes, incluidos negocios y residentes, $122 millones durante los pr\u00f3ximos 25 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n

El nuevo acuerdo permitir\u00e1 que TVWD utilice tasas de inter\u00e9s federales nuevas y m\u00e1s bajas para pagar un pr\u00e9stamo federal de $387.7 millones que est\u00e1 ayudando a financiar la instalaci\u00f3n de m\u00e1s de 30 millas de tuber\u00edas y la construcci\u00f3n de una planta de tratamiento de agua y dos dep\u00f3sitos de almacenamiento que atender\u00e1 a 400,000 habitantes de Oreg\u00f3n y crear\u00e1 4,168 nuevos puestos de trabajo.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLa infraestructura de agua de alta calidad crea buenos empleos y desempe\u00f1a un papel vital en nuestra vida cotidiana, un papel que es a\u00fan m\u00e1s importante cuando nos enfrentamos a crisis de salud p\u00fablica y desastres naturales\u201d. dijo Merkley<\/b>. \u201cEste programa fue creado por una s\u00f3lida asociaci\u00f3n entre los l\u00edderes de Oreg\u00f3n y el gobierno federal, y me complace que contin\u00fae brindando proyectos de infraestructura y ahorros de costos que se necesitan de manera cr\u00edtica para nuestro estado. Y ahora, la refinanciaci\u00f3n de este pr\u00e9stamo ahorrar\u00e1 a los habitantes de Oreg\u00f3n millones y millones m\u00e1s\u201d.<\/p>\n

La presidenta de TVWD, Bernice Bagnall, dijo:<\/b> \u201cTodos los clientes de TVWD se beneficiar\u00e1n directamente de la reejecuci\u00f3n del pr\u00e9stamo WIFIA. Los ahorros iniciales del pr\u00e9stamo WIFIA para nuestros clientes, en relaci\u00f3n con las tasas de mercado totales, se estimaron en $138 millones. Pensamos que era un gran negocio, pero ahora, gracias a la ayuda del Senador Merkley, ahorraremos $122 millones adicionales en costos de pr\u00e9stamos durante el per\u00edodo de pago de 35 a\u00f1os. Estos ahorros de los contribuyentes son un resultado directo del liderazgo del Senador Merkley en el Senado para expandir la capacidad de los gobiernos locales para construir infraestructura local cr\u00edtica como el Sistema de Suministro de Agua de Willamette\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cEl suministro de agua de Willamette es una asociaci\u00f3n regional, con la participaci\u00f3n de agencias locales, estatales y federales. Este proyecto es una base econ\u00f3mica para la regi\u00f3n que est\u00e1 creando empleos hoy y en preparaci\u00f3n para los empleos del ma\u00f1ana. La regi\u00f3n se beneficiar\u00e1 al proporcionar un suministro de agua resistente y confiable para la salud, el crecimiento econ\u00f3mico y la protecci\u00f3n contra incendios en el futuro como resultado de este proyecto y WIFIA ha desempe\u00f1ado un papel integral para que esto suceda\u201d. dijo Tom Hickmann, CEO de TVWD.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

El pr\u00e9stamo, que est\u00e1 siendo administrado por la Agencia de Protecci\u00f3n Ambiental (EPA), fue posible gracias a la Ley de Innovaci\u00f3n y Financiamiento de la Infraestructura del Agua (WIFIA)<\/i>\u2014un programa de Merkley introducido en 2012<\/a> despu\u00e9s de escuchar los comentarios de las comunidades de Oreg\u00f3n de que no era f\u00e1cil acceder a financiamiento asequible para proyectos de infraestructura de agua potable y aguas residuales. Desde que WIFIA fue autorizado como proyecto piloto en 2014<\/a> y luego, como un programa de infraestructura federal de pleno derecho en 2016, Merkley ha utilizado su puesto en el Comit\u00e9 de Asignaciones del Senado para luchar por una financiaci\u00f3n s\u00f3lida para el programa.<\/p>\n

Merkley trabaj\u00f3 con la EPA para permitir que las comunidades locales con pr\u00e9stamos WIFIA refinanciaran y aprovecharan las tasas de inter\u00e9s m\u00e1s bajas.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
