BOREN ANNOUNCES TWO GRANTS FOR PUSHMATAHA COUNTY FACILITIES

WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Congressman Dan Boren today announced two grants for facilities in Pushmataha County.  Boren announced that the Pushmataha County Jail is the recipient of a $27,145 federal grant to purchase equipment necessary for a cell lock control system, and the Pushmataha Family Medical Center in Clayton will receive a $109,690 grant to purchase radiology equipment.  Both grants are a part of the USDA Rural Development Community Facilities grant program. “It is an honor to announce these resources for Pushmataha County.  I know this funding will greatly assist with improvements to community facilities that play separate, but very important roles in Pushmataha County,” said Boren.  “The grant for the jail will directly improve public safety for each and every citizen by ensuring that criminals stay locked-up.  The grant for the medical center will expand health care services for the citizens of Pushmataha County by giving them greater access to critical, life-saving radiology services.  I look forward to working with USDA Rural Development in the future to acquire grant funding for these types of public safety improvements and other community-based projects. ”

County Commissioner District 1 Jack Matthews says " it will be used to upgrade the jail, it was needed to help with fill the gap with current shortfall on the jail maintenance" The funding announced today is being provided through USDA Rural Development’s Community Facilities program, which helps finance essential community facilities for public use in rural areas. These facilities include child care centers, hospitals, medical clinics, assisted-living facilities, fire and rescue stations, police stations, community centers, public buildings and transportation. Through this program, USDA ensures that such facilities are available to all rural residents. Local governments, non-profit organizations, and recognized Indian tribes are eligible to apply for funding. Funding of individual recipients is contingent upon their meeting the terms of the loan or grant agreement.  More information about USDA Rural Development can be found at www.rurdev.usda.gov or http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/OK/.
