Rural communities would get new grants and better federal support for local projects.
This bill would create new grant programs to help rural areas attract investment and get expert advice for local projects. It would also improve how federal agencies work together to support these communities, making it easier for them to get funding.
Today, the Secretary of Agriculture does not have specific authority to provide multiyear grants for rural partnerships or dedicated technical assistance grants. An existing council helps coordinate federal rural efforts. After this bill, the Secretary of Agriculture would be able to offer new multiyear grants to partnerships in rural areas and competitive grants for technical assistance. The existing council would be renamed the "Rural Partners Network" and would focus on making federal funding and support for rural communities easier to access and more efficient.
