Combination water & waste disposal grants - regular

The City of Grygla received a $308,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's 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 critical water and waste infrastructure development in rural Minnesota, enabling the municipality to address essential community needs in drinking water systems, wastewater treatment, or related water infrastructure improvements. The RUS program is designed to ensure reasonable user costs for rural residents while enhancing service quality and reliability in financially needy rural communities.

The award directly supports the City of Grykla's municipal infrastructure objectives by providing financial assistance administered through the City Clerks Office. As a Project Grant, the funding is designated for specific infrastructure improvements rather than ongoing operational support, with the performance period ending June 27, 2025. This grant reflects RUS's targeted approach to rural water infrastructure development, which emphasizes serving communities with demonstrated financial need and significant health and sanitary concerns. The awardee must comply with standard federal audit requirements, maintain detailed records of fund utilization, and ensure all expenditures align with authorized project purposes under 2 CFR 200 regulations.
