Emery County accepts $200,000 Rural County Grant for economic-development projects
Summary
The commission approved acceptance of a FY2026 Rural County Grant from the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity for $200,000 to support economic development projects including junior-entrepreneur programs and business improvement grants.
The Emery County Commission voted Oct. 7 to accept a FY2026 Rural County Grant of $200,000 from the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity (contract number 260632825). The funds are designated for county economic-development initiatives, including programs the commission has previously discussed such as junior-entrepreneur workshops and business-improvement grants.
A commissioner said the board has identified several projects that could receive funding and that acceptance of the award is the first step to deploying the funds in 2026. The motion to accept the grant was seconded and passed by the commissioners present.
Next steps include program planning and public outreach on how the $200,000 will be distributed among targeted economic-development efforts.
