| A Small Cities Block Grant of $1,350,000 was awarded to the Braxton County Commission to extend public water to Rosedale residents.
The grant was part of more than $17.7 million in Small Cities Block Grant dollars approved by Gov. Joe Manchin for 31 infrastructure projects around the state.
The funding is for the Wilsie-Rosedale waterline extension project, which will help extend service to 50 new households.
The residents currently haul water from outside the area or utilize wells and cisterns, some of which contain mineral and biological contaminates.
When completed, the Wilsie-Rosedale waterline extension project will serve a total of approximately 175 customers.
