U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development’s Iowa State Director Michael Sexton today announced that the agency is awarding a total of $19 million for two projects to improve electric infrastructure in Iowa.
“At USDA, we are on a mission to improve the reliability and the affordability of our shared electrical infrastructure,” said Sexton. “Under the leadership of President Trump and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, USDA is using its capital to upgrade and expand Iowa’s power grid to boost economic productivity and to make life better for us.”
USDA Rural Development has 11 offices across the state to serve the 1.3 million Iowans living in rural communities and areas. Office locations include a state office in Des Moines, along with area offices in Albia, Atlantic, Humboldt, Indianola, Iowa Falls, Le Mars, Mount Pleasant, Storm Lake, Tipton and Waverly.
