The Georgia Environmental Finance Authority awarded $26 million in loans this week for three reservoir projects, but the proposed Glades Reservoir in Hall County was not one of them. While county officials have requested about $14.5 million in direct investment from the state — which does not require any payback — through the Governor’s Water Supply Program, they did not apply for a loan. Officials said continued delays in the completion of an environmental impact statement and review for Glades made a loan unnecessary.
