USDA invests $30,200 to modernize equipment in Brunswick

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development State Director for Missouri Jeff Case, announced a $30,200 investment to modernize equipment in Brunswick, Mo.

“Having the modern infrastructure and equipment needed allows Missouri’s rural communities to better provide for its residents and paves the way for rural prosperity,” said Trump Administration Official State Director Case. “Under the leadership of President Trump and Agriculture Secretary Perdue, USDA has been working tirelessly to be a strong partner to rural communities, like Brunswick, in building stronger and healthier communities, because we know when rural America thrives, all of America thrives.”

The city of Brunswick will use a $30,200 Community Facilities Grant to purchase a skid loader to better maintain city roads and property. The city owns a skid loader, but it has not been operational for some time and repairs are not cost effective based on its age. This multipurpose piece of equipment will be utilized for various projects throughout the community such as street repairs, maintenance, and utility line repairs. This investment will provide the city with the equipment needed to better and more efficiently serve the more than 850 residents of Brunswick.
