Thursday's Internet Edition, August 07, 2008. Office of Rural Community Affairs Awards Community Development Block Grant to the City of Rocksprings - The Office of Rural Community Affairs awarded a Community Development Block Grant to the City of Rocksprings. The grant was in the amount of $219,026. A check presentation ceremony was held at the last MRGDC Board of Directors bi-monthly meeting in Uvalde, TX. The Office of Rural Community Affairs has worked to strengthen rural communities by assisting them with community development, economic development and healthcare grants. ORCA serves as the central source for rural programs, services and activities so that governmental resources are delivered efficiently to the state’s rural residents. The Texas Community Development Block Grant program funded through the Office of Rural Community Affairs of the State of Texas provides for much of the infrastructure that is built to support and sustain the continued growth of the region’s economy and the health and safety of its people. To assure the best possible participation of our member governments in the community development programs at the state and federal level, the Middle Rio Grande Development Council staff offers technical assistance in the preparation of grant applications, contract administration and implementation of community development projects. The Middle Rio Grande Development Council is an equal opportunity employer and auxiliary aids and services may be made available upon request to individuals with disabilities.
