The economic growth of rural communities depends on critical infrastructure. An important mission of USDA Rural Development in California is improving the quality of life through a variety of loan and grant programs for electric energy, telecommunications and water and waste water disposal projects.

 

Our Rural Utilities Program in 2008 delivered more than $44 million in water and waste water projects funds to improve existing facilities or to build new ones for growing rural towns.

 

The distance learning and telemedicine program within the Utility Program helps to develop the Information Superhighway in rural California. We provide grants to rural schools, hospitals and medical clinics to jump-start the development and deployment of advanced telecommunications services in rural California.  I invite you to learn more about all of the benefits of the Rural Utilities Program by reviewing the information listed on this page.
