The U.S. Department of Agriculture has released a report discussing how its Rural Development investments helped to build stronger rural communities across the nation.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says the 2012 investments of more than $176 million helped job creation, businesses, infrastructure and housing in rural areas.
“President Obama’s plan for rural America has brought about historic investment in rural communities that have made them stronger,” Vilsack said. “Thanks to our loan, grant and technical assistance programs, USDA Rural Development is helping residents and rural enterprises thrive, and we are laying a strong foundation for rural America’s future.”
