Waste disposal grants - regular

This federal Project Grant award of $750,000 was provided by the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760). The grant funding will be used by the Town of Sophia, West Virginia to construct, upgrade, and repair critical water and waste infrastructure, including drinking water systems, wastewater treatment facilities, solid waste management systems, and stormwater infrastructure. The primary objectives are to ensure reasonable utility costs for rural residents and businesses while enhancing the quality and reliability of essential water and waste services in the Sophia community. This federal grant award is part of a broader effort by the Town of Sophia, having previously received an additional $1 million in Project Grant funding from the same program in August 2024 to support similar infrastructure improvements.
