Federal Grant Award Summary

Petersburg Borough received a $225,000 Project Grant from the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), a division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766). The award was obligated on June 9, 2026, with a completion deadline of June 9, 2028. As a congressionally directed grant, this funding supports the development of an essential community facility project in Petersburg, Alaska, designed to provide critical services to the local rural community.

While specific facility details are not provided in the award documentation, the Community Facilities program prioritizes projects that enhance public safety—including fire, police, rescue, and ambulance services—or develop health care facilities serving low-income rural residents. Petersburg Borough, an established municipal government entity with substantial federal grant experience, will utilize this two-year funding period to plan and execute the approved community facility project, with the expectation of maintaining comprehensive financial records and operational documentation as required under federal grant compliance standards.
