TEMPLE, TEXAS, May 26, 2015 — Agriculture Under Secretary Lisa Mensah has announced USDA is seeking applications for grants to support rural community economic development.
“This funding from USDA will ensure that technical and financial assistance is available for those who wish to improve the quality of life in rural communities,” Mensah said. “Very often, great visions for better rural communities exist, but the next steps toward positive change are unclear. These grants will help rural communities build a path to community economic development so rural America can share in the nation’s economic recovery."
