Edgewood’s fire station and emergency services building was one of
the four projects in today's announcement that is located in Iowa. The land
has been deeded to the City of Edgewood and other grants are being applied for.
The design details are being worked on by an architect but a construction date
has not been determined until more financing is obtained. The building will be
located next to the pond at Community Dreams.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced the selection of $17.5 million
in community facilities projects that are being funded immediately with federal
funds provided through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that President
Obama signed into law in February. Altogether, USDA has announced nearly $252.5
million in Recovery Act funding for community facility projects to date.
"Facilities such as libraries, public buildings and community centers bring
vitality to small towns and cities and these Recovery Act investments will
benefit people throughout the country," Vilsack said. "The Obama Administration
is committed to strengthening communities in rural areas and these investments
will help further that goal." In Pocahontas, Iowa, for example, the Pocahontas
Community Hospital will receive a $75,900 grant to purchase a digital
mammography machine and additional equipment. The current analog mammography
machine produces films which must be hand delivered to a hospital 50 miles away
and read by a licensed radiologist. The purchase of the new machine will allow
for images to be sent to a licensed radiologist within seconds. The patients
will receive the results faster and it will eliminate the need to travel to
other facilities to obtain the digital mammogram and potentially save lives.
In addition to the $17.5 million that USDA Rural Development is providing to
fund the 27 projects announced today, recipients will invest $8.2 million from
other sources.
Funding of each loan and grant recipient is contingent
upon meeting the conditions of the agreement. Below is a complete list of Iowa
recipients:
Decatur County Hospital; $89,870; to assist hospital with the purchase of a
mammography machine; Decatur County; $95,000; Assist with the installation of
energy-efficient windows at courthouse in Leon Contact USDA Rural Development.
