Communities<br>
<br>
<b>Resource Guide to Assist Rural Communities<br>
</b>The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and other federal agencies
have developed a guide outlining programs the federal government has
available to support rural communities as they promote economic
development and enhance the quality of life for rural residents.<br>
The publication, <i>Federal Resources for Sustainable Rural
Communities,</i> is a collaborative effort among USDA, the Department of
Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Transportation and the
Environmental Protection Agency. It ensures rural communities have access
to all of the federal resources that can support their efforts to promote
economic competitiveness, protect healthy environments modernize
infrastructure and provide services to residents. The guide has key
information on funding and technical assistance opportunities available
from the four agencies, as well as examples of how rural communities
across the country have benefitted from federal resources.<br>
A copy of the resource guide is available in the Spotlight section of the
USDA Rural Development home page at:
