BRAWLEY — The Brawley City Council has been scheduled on Tuesday to accept more than $1 million in federal funding from the Southwest Border Regional Commission (SBRC) to expand water and sewer infrastructure, a project designed to support new housing and economic development in the city’s northwestern sector.

The funding has been included in an agenda for a special council meeting scheduled today, September 23 at the Brawley Teen Center. Under the grant agreement, the SBRC will cover 80 percent of the project’s cost—about $841,335—while the city will contribute a required 20 percent local match of roughly $210,223 through its Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds. The total project budget is $1,051,558.
