Gov. Brian Kemp continued to dole out federal COVID-19 relief money Tuesday, announcing $422 million worth of water and sewer grants to dozens of cities and counties.

The awards came three weeks after Kemp announced $408 million in COVID-19 relief funding would go to expand high-speed internet service in the state to over 132,000 homes and businesses that currently lack access.

The money is part of the $4.8 billion the state is expected to receive in federal relief money that congressional Democrats approved a year ago over GOP opposition.
