Rural communities would get more money for local projects through 2030
This bill would set aside more money for a program that helps rural communities grow. It would increase annual funding for the Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant Program from $10 million to $12 million. This funding would also be extended for five more years, from the government's budget year 2026 through 2030.
Currently, the Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant Program receives $10 million each year, with funding set to end after the government's budget year 2023. If this bill becomes law, the program would receive $12 million each year from the government's budget year 2026 through 2030, providing more money for a longer period.
