S 2183 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Community Wood Facilities Assistance Act of 2025

This bill amends two existing agricultural grant programs to expand support for forest product manufacturing. It creates a "Community Wood Facilities Grant Program" that increases annual funding from $25 million to $50 million (for 2026-2030), raises the maximum grant size to $5 million, and requires projects to use at least 50% forest biomass for processing or manufacturing. The bill directly affects wood manufacturing businesses and rural communities seeking to build, upgrade, or retrofit facilities for forest products. Key changes include shifting focus from "woody biomass" to "forest biomass," increasing efficiency requirements, and expanding eligibility to include new construction alongside retrofits.
