Waste disposal grants - regular

The City of Kooskia received a $1.961 million Project Grant award from the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) on June 27, 2025, under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760). This funding supports waste disposal infrastructure development and improvement projects serving the rural community of Kooskia, Idaho. The award aligns with the program's primary objectives to ensure reasonable user costs, enhance service quality and reliability, and support financially needy rural communities in maintaining essential waste management services.

The RUS administers this program to provide loan and grant funds directed toward rural areas with demonstrated financial need, low income, unemployment challenges, or health and sanitary problems. Grant awards under this program typically fund the design, construction, and improvement of waste disposal systems, including solid waste management infrastructure and related facilities. As a nonfederal entity receiving federal assistance exceeding $750,000, the City of Kooskia is required to undergo a single or program-specific audit and maintain comprehensive records to ensure funds are used for authorized purposes in accordance with applicable federal regulations.
