In addition to the water system funding allocated for the City  of Tifton, the Georgia Rural Center has assured that the Abraham Baldwin  Agricultural College is slated to receive funding for a new water  system.
As part of a three-part project targeting three rural areas in Georgia,  Gov. Brian Kemp has awarded a total of $1.1 million of American Rescue  Plan funding to the towns of Tifton, Parrott and Warthen for use in  improving their water and wastewater systems.
The Georgia Rural Center aided in coordinating and organizing these  three projects and ensuring the three communities received the funding  they needed.
“We are pleased and grateful to have received funding  for these projects that will positively impact quality of life for  people in these rural communities,” Georgia Rural Center Interim  Director David Bridges said. “We thank not only Gov. Kemp and those who  assisted him in selecting projects for funding, but also those  individuals from across the state who helped the Rural Center team craft  the proposals we submitted.”
