Summary
County Administrator Steve Rapson told the board that Fayette County’s Water System received a $4.156 million FEMA/GEMA grant to fund two new generators and electrical upgrades for critical systems.
County Administrator Steve Rapson told the Fayette County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 23 that the county’s Water System secured a $4.156 million FEMA/GEMA grant to pay for two new generators and electrical‑system upgrades.
Rapson included the grant announcement in the Hot Project Report, which also listed ongoing projects such as the Parks and Recreation multi‑use facility, Starr’s Mill Tunnel and Cedar Trail culvert replacement. The grant was described as a homeland‑security award to strengthen continuity of operations for the county water system.
The board received the report; no separate motion or vote on the grant was recorded in the meeting minutes. Rapson indicated the grant would fund the generators and electrical work but did not provide a construction timeline in the public minutes.
Staff will follow procurement and grant‑management procedures to implement the awarded funds and will report updates to the board in future Hot Project Reports.
