Community project grants congressionally delegated

The Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service awarded Town of Irmo $1.98 million on December 22, 2025, under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766), a Project Grant to develop an essential community facility project in Irmo, South Carolina. Performance extends through December 22, 2027. The program funds development of essential community facilities—including fire protection, police and rescue services, healthcare, education, utility services, and community centers—in rural areas serving nonprofits, public bodies, and federally recognized tribes. Town of Irmo, a municipal government entity in Irmo, South Carolina, serves as the recipient. The town's federal footprint consists exclusively of grant work; it does not pursue federal contracts as a prime. Irmo also receives sub-award funding from The Adjutant General South Carolina and the South Carolina Department of Public Safety for debris removal operations and public safety equipment upgrades, though those sub-awards fall outside this RUS grant.
