The city's efforts in obtaining federal grants highlight its proactive approach to improving the quality of life for its residents and ensuring compliance with environmental standards.

Recent federal grant awards to City of Fayette have primarily targeted sewer infrastructure improvements. In June 2024, the city received a substantial Project Grant of $1,125,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766). This two-year grant aims to construct, enlarge, extend, or improve community facilities providing essential services to rural residents, with a specific focus on repairing a compromised sewer lagoon. Additionally, in November 2023, the Delta Regional Authority awarded City of Fayette two identical Project Grants of $124,715 each under the Delta Area Economic Development program (CFDA 90.201). These grants address urgent needs at one of the city's sewer lagoons, where raw, untreated waste was flowing through breaks in the dam and into a nearby creek due to a compromised collection system. The city has also received multiple sub-awards from the Mississippi Development Authority for other sewer improvement projects. These grants collectively demonstrate City of Fayette's ongoing efforts to upgrade its sewer infrastructure, mitigate environmental issues, and improve the overall quality of life for its residents.
