Federal Project Grant Award Summary

County of Grant received a $400,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766). The award, obligated on April 16, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of April 16, 2028, supports the development of essential community facility projects in Silver City, New Mexico. The Community Facilities Loans and Grants program provides affordable funding to construct, enlarge, extend, or improve facilities delivering essential services to rural communities, with priority consideration given to projects enhancing public safety, healthcare infrastructure, and services benefiting low-income rural residents.

While specific project details are not enumerated in the award documentation, County of Grant's historical engagement under this program and similar federal initiatives suggests the funding likely supports critical infrastructure improvements such as emergency services facilities, healthcare infrastructure, public safety equipment, or community center enhancements serving the Silver City area. As a local government entity with demonstrated capacity in federal grant administration and prior experience managing substantial infrastructure projects, County of Grant is positioned to effectively execute the two-year grant period to completion.
