Release Date

The Trump Administration today announced that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is investing $50,000 in a Community Facilities Grant to the Town of Alderson to help rural Monroe County.

Through this investment, and a matching contribution of $31,047 from the town, the Town of Alderson will have $81,047 available to assist with the purchase of two all-wheel-drive patrol vehicles. This will help replace the current vehicles that have high mileage and require frequent maintenance to keep them on the road.

“We are pleased to be able to assist rural West Virginia law enforcement agencies who are dedicated to helping their communities remain safe,” said Kris Warner, West Virginia State Director, USDA Rural Development. “Under the leadership of President Trump and Agriculture Secretary Perdue, USDA has continued to work untiringly as a strong partner to the Mountain State, because we know that when rural West Virginia thrives, all of America thrives.”

This Rural Development investment is part of 20 statewide Community Facilities Direct Loans and Grants with a total investment of more than $6.5 million.

Rural Development’s community facilities direct loans and grants can be used to purchase, construct, and/or improve essential community facilities; purchase equipment; and pay related project expenses.
