Waste disposal grants - regular

The Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service awarded a $814,000 Project Grant under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760) to the Mason County Public Service District in West Virginia. This funding will support the district's delivery of water and waste disposal infrastructure projects to improve access, capacity, and affordability of these critical utilities for rural communities. Additionally, the district has received a $6.78 million Economic Adjustment Assistance grant from the Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration to construct a new wastewater treatment plant, enabling business growth and job creation by providing added sewer capacity for a new steel manufacturing facility. Through these federal grant awards, the Mason County Public Service District continues its work to deliver high-quality, cost-effective water and waste disposal services to financially needy rural populations in West Virginia.
