(KLZA)-- The Nebraska Legislature voted 42-0 Tuesday with five Senators not casting votes to approved LB 977, First District State Senator Julie Slama's priority bill to set aside $15 million from the states cash reserves, tranferring the money to the site and Building Development Fund to help Falls City get a second power line feeding the community from OPPD.

Senator Slama told MSC News she was thrilled to get the record state infrastructure investment bill that will aid Falls City for decades to come passed.

The bill is structured in such a way that Falls City is the only community in the state that would qualify for the funds. The money is specifically for an electrical system upgrade.

Falls City has lost out on several industries locating in the community becasue the city is unable to supply enough electrial power for those businesses to operate.
