Waterproof, Louisiana

WATERPROOF, November 2, 2007 – State Director Clyde Holloway presented $37,500 in USDA Rural Development grant funds to the Town of Waterproof to purchase two new patrol cars and associated equipment. 

“The Town of Waterproof will be a safer place because of this USDA Rural Development funding,” said Holloway.  “I congratulate the town on receiving this funding—and look forward to seeing the new patrol cars soon.” 

The grant funds were awarded through USDA Rural Development’s Community Facilities Program.  This program offers loans, guaranteed loans, and grants to rural areas and towns up to 20,000 in population to develop essential community facilities—such as the new patrol cars in Waterproof.
