The Economic Development Administration (EDA) awarded a $1.2 million Project Grant to Henry County, Virginia on January 26, 2023 under the Investments for Public Works and Economic Development Facilities program (CFDA 11.300). The grant funds the construction of a pump station, sewer line, and other infrastructure improvements to increase water and sewer system capacity. This will support the expansion of a local lumber manufacturer and make public sewer service available to approximately 14 potential new commercial customers. The project aims to spur business creation and economic resiliency in the region by expanding opportunities and creating and saving jobs. Through primarily construction-focused investments, the EDA program supports distressed communities in building critical infrastructure to implement regional economic development strategies.
