Brown Announces $2.7 Million for Road and Sewer Improvements in Trumbull County

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) announced that the United States Economic Development Administration (EDA) has awarded a $2.7 million grant to Trumbull County for road and sewer infrastructure improvements in the 1,000-acre Golden Triangle Industrial Area. This grant is funded by the American Rescue Plan, which Brown helped write and pass.

 

“Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, this investment will help ensure that Trumbull County has the resources it needs to improve its infrastructure and grow the local economy,” said Brown. “I’m pleased to see the Economic Development Administration recognize the strength of Ohio workers, and I support any effort that creates jobs in Ohio.”

 

The EDA is the only federal government agency focused exclusively on economic development. The program is designed to provide financial assistance to communities, and promote economic development.

 

EDA grants are awarded through a competitive process based upon the application’s merit, the applicant’s eligibility, and the availability of funds. More information on EDA’s grant process and investment process can be found at www.eda.gov.
