The US Economic Development Administration awarded Newton County a grant worth $2,070,000 to help fund a project in Newton County.

The grant was awarded on Sept. 27. The EDA describes the grant as follows:

"This EDA investment funds renovations to rebuild Deweyville Road, which was damaged by Hurricane Harvey, to make it more resilient to future weather events. The road serves as the main relief evacuation route within Newtown County, Texas, a designated Opportunity Zone. The re-engineering of drainage along the road will help the region become more resilient to future natural disasters, which will provide economic stability to strengthen the regional economy."
