U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross today announced that the Department’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) is awarding a $1.5 million grant to the city of Mount Vernon, Texas, to make rail infrastructure improvements needed to support business development and expansion in Northeast Texas and Southwest Arkansas. According to grantee estimates, the project is expected to create 82 jobs, retain 55 jobs, and generate $2 million in private investment.

“Revamping American infrastructure in communities across the United States is a key priority for President Trump and the Department of Commerce,” said Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross. “This crucial infrastructure project will help attract new businesses to the region while providing the opportunity for existing businesses to grow.”
