Sturgis is set to receive a significant boost to its water infrastructure with over $10 million in secured federal funding.

The USDA representatives, who assisted in funding the project, emphasized its vital role in the city's development. Access to reliable water is a key factor for economic growth, attracting new businesses and residents.
Residents like Tiffany Maurer expressed hope that the improvements will enhance the town's appeal and encourage new businesses. Maurer, who had considered leaving due to high water costs, now feels optimistic about the city's future. Mayor Adams anticipates the treatment plant will be fully operational by the end of 2029, marking a significant milestone for Sturgis.
