The Permanent Community Impact Board (CIB) approved a $1,0184,000 grant and a $1,391,000 low-interest loan for consolidated capital projects, which include street, drainage and water system improvements.
At the CIB meeting on Feb. 2, the board also approved funding to Price City for a $140,000 grant for culinary water system planning.

The Permanent Community Impact Board awards grants and low-interest loans to cities, towns, and counties from funds directed to the CIB from mining and oil and gas extraction on federal land. Projects funded by the Permanent Community Impact Board benefit rural Utah by creating safer, more livable communities.
