Government Can Do Good: 2026 Today I highlight significant rural water infrastructure financing news. As reported in the January 14 edition of The Gregory Times Advocate, the South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR) has announced $48.9 million in loans and grants for statewide rural drinking water and wastewater infrastructure improvements. Most of this amount ($36,958,000) comes in the form of low interest state loans, and the remaining amount ($11,900,000) comes from state (Emerging Contaminants for Small or Disadvantaged Communities) and federal (American Rescue Plan Act or ARPA) grant funding. The DANR also reports the total amount of ARPA funding received by recipient rural communities since the Biden Administration passed the ARPA in 2022.
