Domestic water grants - regular

The Town of Sweden received a $6,750,000 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). The grant funding is intended to support improvements to the town's drinking water systems, wastewater treatment facilities, solid waste management, and stormwater infrastructure. This aligns with the program's objectives to ensure reasonable user costs, enhance service quality and reliability, and support financially needy rural communities in maintaining essential water and waste management services. The grant was awarded on March 10, 2025 with a completion date of the same year. Additionally, the Town of Sweden has been involved in sub-grant awards through Monroe County for public works and sidewalk replacement projects, demonstrating their strategic approach to leveraging federal funding to enhance local infrastructure and address community needs.
