📢 Big News for Woodward County!

Woodward County has been awarded a $160,000 grant through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program.

This grant will allow the county to study, plan, and identify safety improvements for our roads, intersections, and transportation system with the goal of reducing serious injuries and fatalities. In short, it helps us make smarter, data-driven decisions to keep our communities safer.

This is a prime example of federal funds that are available and accessible when we have the right local resources in place to pursue them.

With the County Area Projects (CAPS) vote coming up on February 10, this type of grant shows exactly why local capacity matters. CAPS gives Woodward County the ability to leverage local dollars to apply for and secure more outside funding, bringing additional investment back home to improve our roads, infrastructure, and communities.

📅 Vote February 10
Together, we can continue positioning Woodward County to take advantage of opportunities like this and keep moving our county forward.
