Lieutenant Governor Jacqueline Coleman was in Edmonton Monday morning to award Metcalf County $1,568,171 in funding for projects that would improve the county’s infrastructure.
Community Block Development Grant Coronavirus Response (CDBG-CV) funds will allow the county to build a new food bank distribution building and resurface the parking lot. The park currently provides free public meeting rooms as well as meals and shelter to the county’s homeless population.
Two separate grants will address water line extensions in the county. The extension will allow underserved areas to receive clean drinking water. Seven families in the county will have access for the first time after the project is complete.
These improvements are meant to help rural communities move forward and prepare them for future opportunities.
