Governor Lombardo's office has announced that more than $3 million is going to fund seven rural projects across Nevada.
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding comes from the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED). The CDBG program allows local governments to use the funding for things such as affordable housing and create economic opportunities for residents.
Nevada’s CDBG-awarded projects for 2026 include:
* $603,750 to assist with upgrades to the Wastewater Treatment Plant in the City of Ely
* $750,000 to assist with the Serpa Sewer Lift Station Rebuild in City of Fallon
* $500,000 to assist with Sewer Improvements in the City of Lovelock
* $513,120 to assist with the Tuscarora Water Tank Replacement in Elko County
* $557,675 to assist with the Goldfield Community Center in Esmeralda County
* $100,000 to assist with the Goldfield Firehouse Water Seal project in Esmeralda County
* $75,000 to assist with the update to the Environmental Review for the Pahrump Fairgrounds in Nye County
“Strong communities start with reliable infrastructure,” said Governor Joe Lombardo. “These investments will deliver critical upgrades to water systems, public facilities, and community resources across rural Nevada. By partnering with local governments, we're making sure communities have the tools they need to grow, attract investment, and serve residents for years to come.”
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development oversees the program, and the Rural Community Development Division of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development administers the program for the State of Nevada.
