TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - Federal funding cuts by the Trump administration mean the City of Thomasville is losing a multi-million dollar grant.

The grant was originally accepted by city councilors in February.

The nearly $20 million grant was meant to help improve aging infrastructure, like the city’s wastewater system.

The funds would have also gone to renovations at the Douglass School to make it a community resource and would have put millions into family homes in historic districts.

The grant funds came from the Federal Inflation Reduction Act and were awarded through the Environmental Protection Agency.

The City of Thomasville confirmed the cuts today in a statement to WCTV, saying it is disappointed by the news but plans to appeal the decision.
