Return On Federal Dollar
Over the past two decades, the CWSRF has financed $2.31 in infrastructure projects for every $1 invested by the federal government, providing a remarkable return on federal investment (See Figure 5).
EPA has projected that over a twenty-year time horizon, the initial federal investment into the CWSRF can result in the construction of up to three to four times as many projects compared to programs that utilize a one-time federal grant, depending on the allocation of resources to the program.
Due to the income stream into the program from state match, loan repayments, interest earnings, investment earning, and bond proceeds from leveraging, the return on every federal dollar investment to the CWSRF is currently $2.31.
