The grant funds operating assistance, vehicle purchases, preventative maintenance, and other capital projects for six municipalities - Arroyo, Barceloneta, Guayanilla, Hatillo, Ponce, and Cabo Rojo through sub-awards. Sub-awards were also provided to Waves Ahead Corp in Cabo Rojo totaling $1,494,413 to acquire vehicles, provide operating assistance, preventative maintenance, and job training.
