ARC community facilities grants

Jenks Township received $813,970 in Project Grant funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766) on April 9, 2026, with a completion date of May 9, 2027. This award supports the development of essential community facilities in rural Pennsylvania, enabling the township to construct, enlarge, extend, or improve critical infrastructure and services that contribute to the orderly development of the community. The Community Facilities Loans and Grants program prioritizes funding for projects that enhance public safety—including fire, police, rescue, and ambulance services—as well as healthcare, education, utility services, and community centers that serve rural populations.

As a public body recipient, Jenks Township will utilize this funding to advance essential community infrastructure in accordance with federal requirements, including the maintenance of adequate records and periodic financial audits. The award represents the program's commitment to providing affordable financing for rural community development projects that improve quality of life and infrastructure in underserved regions.
