ARC community facilities grants

Perry County Fiscal Court, operating as the Perry Co Road Department in Kentucky, received a $1.5 million Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766) awarded on April 5, 2026. The award, with an ultimate completion date of May 5, 2027, supports the development of essential community facility infrastructure in rural Perry County. Based on the awardee's established track record and the program's focus, this funding will likely support the construction, enlargement, or improvement of critical public infrastructure and services such as fire protection, public safety facilities, healthcare services, utilities, or community centers that enhance quality of life and orderly development in this rural Appalachian region.

This grant aligns with the Community Facilities program's core mission to provide affordable funding for public bodies in rural areas to develop infrastructure that serves low-income residents and enhances public safety. Perry County Fiscal Court's substantial experience managing over $10.3 million in prior federal infrastructure awards and its demonstrated expertise in executing complex infrastructure projects position it well to effectively utilize this funding for community facility improvements that contribute to regional economic development and public well-being in Perry County.
