FARMINGTON — The county’s hopes for getting the San Juan County Industrial Park open for business got another boost April 28 with a $1.6 million infrastructure grant from the American Rescue Plan’s Coal Communities Commitment.
County Manager Mike Stark said this grant, 30% in matching funds from the county and an earlier state grant to link the park up to a local natural gas line adds up to more than $4.1 million in investments to improve the facility for prospective tenants.
