A $920,000 Community Development Block Grant has been awarded to the town of Wagner, SD, to fund community improvement projects. “As South Dakota’s economy continues to thrive, it’s essential that our communities grow alongside it. The infrastructure improvements are vital for enhancing the quality of life for our residents and creating continued success across our state,” said Joe Fiala, commissioner of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development. The CDBG program provides funding to local governments to complete projects that improve living conditions. Funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the program is administered by the Governor’s Office of Economic Development. Wagner will use the awarded CDBG funds for water and wastewater improvements along Highway 46.
