Today, United States Representative Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS) announced The United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development has awarded a grant in the amount of $30,000 through the Special Evaluation Assistance for Rural Communities and Households Program to the Town of Vaiden.
The Rural Business Development funds will be used to conduct a feasibility study of the town's current water system in relation to installing new radio read water meters.
