The town of Farragut has received one of 12 grants from the state’s American Rescue Plan (ARP) fund, part of which Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) is administering in the form of water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure grants. Six ARP grants were announced in August; the total value of the 18 grants is $72.4 million.
Farragut’s grant is $1,721,566. The town will be required to match the funds with American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) funding previously received from the federal government.
Projects included in the grant are town-wide stormwater mapping and stormwater infrastructure repairs and improvements. The town’s 35 percent match on the two projects will be $602,547.
