Page Receives $30,000 Grant From USDA For Development

On Monday, USDA Rural Development announced Page as the recipient of a Special Evaluation Assistance for Rural Communities and Households (SEARCH) grant of $30,000. 

The SEARCH program helps very small, financially distressed rural communities with predevelopment feasibility studies, design assistance, and technical assistance on proposed water and waste disposal projects.

Village of Page Chairperson Donald Linquist said, “We are very pleased and appreciative to have been selected to receive funding for our project via the SEARCH Grant.  The USDA does an extraordinary job of assisting smaller communities here in rural Nebraska with grants for various projects which would otherwise exceed the financial resources of villages such as ours and for that we are very grateful.  This grant will help us pinpoint any potential water system concerns so that they may be addressed in a timely manner."
This rural development grant will be used for the development of a preliminary engineering review on Page’s aging water system.
