Waste disposal grants - regular

The City of Paris was awarded a $855,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760). This federal grant funding will support water and waste disposal infrastructure projects in the city, potentially including upgrades to the water distribution system and construction of a new wastewater treatment plant. The grant aims to help ensure reasonable user costs for water and waste services in the rural community. Additionally, the city has received sub-awards through the Tennessee Department of Transportation for transportation infrastructure improvements, such as traffic signal upgrades at various intersections in Paris. The city has also participated in emergency management activities through a sub-award from the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency. These grant-funded activities demonstrate the city's efforts to maintain and improve local infrastructure while contributing to broader state and federal initiatives in rural development and emergency preparedness.
