Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Salyersville received a $2.1 million Project Grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) under the Appalachian Area Development program (CFDA 23.002) for community infrastructure improvements. The award, effective from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, supports critical infrastructure investments in Salyersville, Kentucky, aligned with ARC's strategic priorities for regional economic competitiveness and self-sustaining development. The project advances ARC's core objectives to invest in critical infrastructure—particularly in areas such as transportation, water/wastewater systems, and broadband connectivity—while building community capacity and strengthening economic growth in the economically distressed Appalachian region.

As a local government entity, the City of Salyersville will utilize these funds to implement infrastructure projects that conform to Kentucky's ARC-approved state development plan and strategy. The three-year award supports the region's long-term economic resilience and development goals by addressing essential infrastructure gaps that enable community and economic development. The project demonstrates the city's strategic approach to leveraging federal grant opportunities and its demonstrated capacity to secure funding from multiple federal sources for infrastructure, economic development, and community improvement initiatives.
