About this grant
The Rural Infrastructure Program provides grants to local governments in North Carolina for public infrastructure projects that directly create new, full-time, private-sector jobs. Eligible projects include drinking water and wastewater plants, water and sewer lines, natural gas lines, access roads, and rail spur improvements. A 5% cash match is required, and awards are made by the Rural Infrastructure Authority.
Eligibility details
