Impact aid program, title VII, section 7002

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Liberty County Board of Education $656,081 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7002 (CFDA 84.041).

The award compensates Liberty County Board of Education for reduced local tax revenue resulting from federal acquisition of real property within the district's boundaries. Section 7002 provides assistance to school districts where an aggregate of 10 percent or more of assessed real property valuation has been acquired by the federal government since 1938 and the district receives insufficient revenue from activities on eligible federal property. Liberty County, located in Hinesville, Georgia, and serving over 13,000 students, qualifies due to its proximity to Fort Stewart military base and the resulting federal land holdings that reduce the local tax base available for education.

Performance occurs in Hinesville, GA 31313. The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. The assistance type is a project grant. Obligated funding is $656,081.
