One of the Community Project Funding projects for Churchill County includes Rural Nursing Expansion and Renovation Project at the Fallon campus of Western Nevada College.
Local projects have been included in Community Project Funding for the next fiscal year, reports Congressman Mark Amodei, CD-2.
The U.S. House Committee on Appropriations funds the request.
“As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I was proud to advocate for and advance funding for critical projects in Nevada’s Second Congressional District, including funds for law enforcement efficiency, wastewater treatment, airport improvements, intersection safety, highway infrastructure advancements, small businesses development, medical school training equipment, and economic revitalization,” Amodei said.
Amodei pointed out these are vital community projects.
“The entities requesting funding for these projects, state and local governments or eligible non-profit entities, have gone through a rigorous process to demonstrate clear community support and prove the specific intent of the funds and benefit to the local area,” he said.
The local Community Project Funding include the following:
• $4,369,300 — Wastewater Treatment Plant Dewatering Press, City of Fallon
This project will support the installation of a volute dewatering press at the city of Fallon’s Wastewater Treatment Plant to more effectively process the biosolids generated from the treatment processes at the plant, allowing the city of Fallon to eliminate some of its lagoons and to effectively manage and operate its WWTP.
• $4 million — Coleman Road Connector, Churchill County
This project funds the construction of new roadway with a 125-foot span bridge across the Carson River in Churchill County to provide safer roadways and improved access to central commercial areas.
• $2 million, Rural Nursing Expansion and Renovation Project, Western Nevada College
This project will support the development of a permanent instructional training space for its rural nursing cohort at the Fallon Campus.
• $879,835, New River Feeders, City of Fallon
This project allows for the installation of two additional power circuits, known as the New River Feeders, in the New River Substation to ensure reliable and equitable access to public power utilities.
