USDA RBDG Applicant Kickoff Webinar - Rural Community Economic Development Grant

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our USDA RBDG webinar in early November. In collaboration with Downtown Redevelopment Services (DRS) for a second year to provide economic development and business diversification strategies through joint USDA Rural Business Development Program applications. 

As we move forward with applications and preparation, we're holding a quick webinar to review the application process and checklist. This will outline the timing, process, and necessary elements for submission of a USDA grant. Additionally, we will have a Q&A period where participants can ask questions about the process and deliverables.

This kickoff Zoom meeting is for all applicants to the USDA RBDG grant for the 2024 year. 

We're proud to work with small and mid-sized communities and this unique program from the USDA is a great opportunity for rural communities to bring in the resources critical to your success.

Please prepare for this meeting by reviewing our original informational webinar from 11/2 with any key stakeholders and completing this brief application checklist PDF before the 13th to help accelerate your application.
