The Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA) awarded the Walker River Paiute Tribe a $5.37 million project grant under the Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) program. The grant will support replacing and expanding four water mains and installing 45 fire hydrants to resolve water system capacity constraints limiting commercial development in Schurz, Nevada. Completing these infrastructure improvements by May 2027 aims to boost business development and job growth for the Tribe as it recovers from impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Upgrading the local water system through this EDA EAA funding will increase employment opportunities and advance economic resiliency in the region.
