Monticello — The final 2009 Grant Award numbers are in and Wayne County received just

under two million dollars in federal, state and other grant funding sources

for the year 2009. Wayne County totaled $1,995,059 in various grants used

for many different projects throughout the county.

³At the end of the year to finish with nearly two million dollars in

grants is certainly something we¹re proud of. Anytime we can improve our

citizens¹ services, whether it is through sewer lines, new blacktop,

recycling opportunities, or better law enforcement and emergency equipment,

at no cost to our local taxpayer it is always a good thing. We understand in

these tough economic times that funding projects is not easy, but we

continue to work with agencies to seek any grant funding that is available,²

said County Judge-Executive Greg Rankin.

Several highlights from the funding cycle included an Economic

Development grant for $805,000 to extend a sewer line, $212,000 for blacktop

resurfacing, $145,000 in State Transpor-tation funds for a bridge

replacement, plus the Wayne County Solid Waste and Recycling program has

received $101,836 from three grants to clean up illegal dump sites, continue

roadside litter abatement and enhance a fast growing recycling program.

³The recycling program just continues to grow and the litter abatement

grant allows for many youth groups, school groups and church groups to

receive valuable funding, while hopefully developing a sense of community

pride and environmental education,² said Rankin.

A complete list of grants and their amounts are available on the

county¹s website at www.waynecounty.ky. gov.
