CF congressionally directed grants

The City of Rosedale received a $225,000 Congressionally Directed Grant from the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766), awarded on May 20, 2025, with a performance period through May 20, 2027. This project grant supports the development of essential community facility infrastructure in rural areas, consistent with the program's mandate to provide affordable funding for public bodies to construct, enlarge, extend, or improve critical community infrastructure and services. The specific products or services to be delivered through this award to Rosedale, located in Bolivar County, Mississippi, align with the program's prioritized focus areas, which include public safety enhancements, utility infrastructure improvements, and community development projects that serve rural residents.

Based on the City of Rosedale's demonstrated track record of infrastructure improvements—including previous investments in pedestrian safety, sewer infrastructure, and utility upgrades—this award will likely support continued essential community facility development. As a municipal government with active System for Award Management (SAM.gov) registration, Rosedale is equipped to execute the two-year project in compliance with federal requirements, including applicable record-keeping and financial management standards under 2 CFR 200.334.
