Federal Project Grant Award Summary

McIntosh County Commission received a $2.303 million Project Grant from the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), a sub-agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766). The award was obligated on June 25, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of June 25, 2028, representing a congressionally directed grant allocation. While specific project details are not enumerated in the award documentation, this grant supports the development of essential community facility projects in the rural Darien, Georgia area, consistent with the program's mandate to fund infrastructure that provides critical services to rural communities.

The Community Facilities Loans and Grants program prioritizes projects that enhance public safety—including fire, police, rescue, and ambulance services—and health care facilities serving low-income rural residents. Given McIntosh County Commission's demonstrated track record in emergency response infrastructure and community services, this funding aligns with the county's established capabilities in regional infrastructure development and public safety initiatives. The two-year performance window is typical of recent congressionally directed grant awards under this program.
