The Lower Colorado River Authority recently awarded more than $815,000 in Community Development Partnership Program grants, including one for an organization in Comfort, for a wide range of projects across LCRA’s wholesale electric, water and transmission service areas.
The grants will help fund 36 community projects, including one for $24,993 from LCRA and Bandera Electric Cooperative to Comfort Youth Baseball for new energy-efficient lighting at playing fields and a public playground in Kerr County.
LCRA General Manager Phil Wilson said the grants help support important community projects that otherwise may not be funded.
“These projects contribute to the health, safety and development of local communities,” Wilson said. “Whether it’s providing new rescue equipment for first responders or replacing an outdated playscape at a community park, these projects help improve lives and support communities across the LCRA service territory.’’
To date, LCRA has awarded 1,888 community grants totaling more than $48.7 million. When combined with almost $230 million in community-raised matching funds, the program has invested more than $278 million in local communities.
