Community development activities are administered by the newly formed Infrastructure Finance Authority (IFA). The IFA was created to ensure that the state’s infrastructure needs, namely those around safe drinking water and wastewater systems, are better identified and prioritized in order to ensure the best use of the state’s limited resources. The authority is overseen by members of an independent Infrastructure Finance Authority Board appointed by the Governor.
