Beaver, Utah, secures $6.97 million for sewer infrastructure upgrades
(UI) — The Permanent Community Impact Board (CIB) has approved funding for a sewer infrastructure improvement project in Beaver, including a $4.18 million grant and a $2.79 million low-interest loan.
During the board’s Oct. 3 meeting, members also approved a $220,671 grant for the Northwestern Special Service District for a quick-response ambulance.
"We understand how essential it is to enhance our wastewater systems to create a cleaner and healthier environment for both current and future generations," said Jerry Taylor, board member and Garfield County commissioner. "This initiative reflects the Permanent Community Impact Board's dedication to strengthening Utah communities."
The CIB awards grants and low-interest loans to cities, towns, and counties using funds generated from mining and oil and gas extraction on federal land. These projects aim to improve infrastructure and create safer, more livable communities in rural Utah. The fund is managed by the Utah Housing and Community Development Division, part of the Department of Workforce Services.
