The City of West Monroe Police Department was awarded a $398,954 Project Grant from the Delta Regional Authority to support activities under the Delta Area Economic Development federal grant program (CFDA 90.201). The grant will fund services and infrastructure development to further the Authority's mission of promoting self-sustaining economic growth and improved quality of life in the Delta region. Specifically, the West Monroe Police Department will use the two-year grant period beginning March 2022 to assist the region in obtaining job training, employment-related education, and business development services needed to strengthen local economies, with an emphasis on entrepreneurship. The funding will also equip industrial parks and related facilities to attract businesses and jobs to the underdeveloped areas around West Monroe, Louisiana that currently lack financial resources for such economic development activities.
