CF congressionally directed grants

The City of Fayette, a local government entity in Mississippi, received a $1,125,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766). The two-year grant, awarded in June 2024, aims to construct, enlarge, extend, or improve community facilities providing essential services to rural residents, with a specific focus on repairing a compromised sewer lagoon. Additionally, the city received two identical $124,715 Project Grants in November 2023 from the Delta Regional Authority under the Delta Area Economic Development program (CFDA 90.201) to address urgent needs at one of its sewer lagoons, where raw, untreated waste was flowing through breaks in the dam and into a nearby creek due to a compromised collection system. These federal grant awards demonstrate the City of Fayette's ongoing efforts to upgrade its sewer infrastructure, mitigate environmental issues, and improve the overall quality of life for its residents.
