The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) awarded Grayson County Courthouse a Cooperative Agreement for $5.12 million under the Emergency Watershed Protection Program (CFDA 10.923), effective September 11, 2025, with completion targeted for May 1, 2027. The award funds debris removal and watershed restoration activities in Grayson County, Virginia, designed to restore hydraulic capacity of impaired waterways and floodplains while protecting channels through appropriate treatment measures. These emergency recovery measures address watershed impairments resulting from natural disasters and are intended to relieve imminent hazards to life and property.

As the project sponsor, Grayson County Courthouse will oversee installation of Emergency Watershed Protection Program practices that provide runoff retardation and soil erosion prevention. The county is responsible for furnishing local cost-share contributions, obtaining necessary land rights and permits, and assuming long-term operation and maintenance responsibilities for all installed measures. This cooperative agreement represents a significant federal investment in Grayson County's watershed resilience and community safety infrastructure.
