New Grants and Technical Support for Rural Area Development and Economic Prosperity.
This Act establishes grant programs to coordinate federal and private investment in rural communities, supporting local partnerships in implementing development projects. Citizens in rural areas can expect increased financial support for local initiatives, job creation, and infrastructure planning. The law also provides technical assistance to help local organizations more easily secure and manage federal funding.
