Yes, I believe we should still remove the ARPA designation.While this is an ARPA project for Mebane, it's not one
that was funded through DEQ.And it's not part of the DWI database for tracking.

Hi Taylor,
I reached out to the applicant for the City of Mebane's Elevated Water Tank project regarding the
Economic Development Administration's funds.We wanted to verifythat the funds didn't come
from ARPA's pool prior to removing the ARPA designation from the project. I received the below
response from the applicant. Based on the below, do you still want the ARPA designation removed
from this project?
Thanks,
Brooklyn
