The White Oak Public Service District was awarded a $895,000 Project Grant from the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service. The grant funding will support waste disposal services under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760) through July 2023.
This federal program aims to provide loan and grant assistance for water and waste projects serving financially needy rural communities, with the goal of ensuring reasonable user costs. Specifically, the awarded funds will support waste disposal operations for Scarbro, West Virginia, helping the White Oak Public Service District deliver essential services to rural residents and businesses in the area. The July 2021 award date allows over two years to complete the scope of work funded.
