Rural communities would get $50 million yearly to boost local jobs and opportunities.
This bill would set aside $50 million each year for five years to help rural communities create jobs and improve their economies. It would change how these grants are given out, making sure smaller towns get more support and allowing projects to focus on a wider range of local industries. The goal is to strengthen economic growth in rural areas.
Today, the Rural Innovation Stronger Economy (RISE) grant program focuses on supporting specific "industry clusters" in rural areas. After this bill, the program would be reauthorized with $50,000,000 set aside each year for five years. It would support a wider range of local industries and opportunities. The program would also specifically target smaller rural communities, with at least 10 percent of funds going to towns with fewer than 10,000 people.
