Century To Choose Engineer For USDA Grant For Water, Waste Projects

October 29, 2017

The Town of Century will hold a special council meeting Monday to open and review proposals for engineering services for a USDA Rural Development SEARCH Grant.

SEARCH — Special Evaluation Assistance for Rural Communities and Households –grants help very small, financially distressed rural communities with predevelopment feasibility studies, design and technical assistance on proposed water and waste disposal projects.

The projects must be in rural communities with a population of 2,500 or less with a median household income below the poverty line. The funds can be used to pay predevelopment planning costs, including feasibility studies to support applications for funding water or waste disposal projects, preliminary design and engineering analysis, and technical assistance for the development of an application for financial assistance.

Century has received two proposals for engineering proposals for the SEACH grant program — from Fabre Engineering and Municipal  Engineering Services. Those proposals will be opened and evaluated by the town council at 5:15 p.m. Monday at Town Hall.

    The optimist says the glass is half full. The pessimist says the glass is half empty. The engineer says the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
