Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service awarded $1.05M to County Of Nevada under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766) on September 30, 2025, with a performance period extending through September 30, 2027. This congressionally directed grant supports the development of essential community facility infrastructure in rural Nevada County, California. The Community Facilities program provides affordable funding to public bodies, non-profit organizations, and federally recognized tribes for constructing, expanding, or improving critical infrastructure and services that enhance quality of life in rural communities.

While specific facility details are not enumerated in the award documentation, the program prioritizes projects that enhance public safety—including fire, police, rescue, and ambulance services—as well as healthcare facilities and other essential community services that contribute to the orderly development of rural areas. County Of Nevada, as the recipient, will be responsible for developing and managing the community facility project in accordance with program requirements, including maintaining adequate records, undergoing periodic financial audits, and complying with federal grant compliance standards through the two-year project period.
