The Department of the Interior's Office of Insular Affairs has awarded a $544,780 Project Grant to the American Samoa Power Authority (ASPA) under the Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories (CFDA 15.875) program. The grant will fund ASPA's Lineman Training and Development Program from July 17, 2023 through September 30, 2027. ASPA is a public utility that provides electricity, water, wastewater, and solid waste services across American Samoa. The grant funding will support ASPA's efforts to train and develop its lineworker workforce to install, operate, and maintain the territory's critical public utility infrastructure. This aligns with the Office of Insular Affairs' mission to bolster healthcare capacity, strengthen island economies, and fulfill U.S. Compact obligations in the insular areas.
