Webinar Description

The Rural Jobs and Innovation Accelerator challenge is an initiative to leverage the existing resources from four funding agencies to spur economic growth in rural areas in approximately 20 regions across the nation. Winning regions will be able to use funds to support a wide range of community and economic development activities that build local assets and strengthen linkages to regional industry clusters and opportunities.

During this webinar, representatives from the Economic Development Administration, United States Department of Agriculture, Appalachian Regional Commission, and the Delta Regional Authority will provide an overview of the Federal Funding Opportunity and will answer questions from the audience. The webinar will be recorded and available on the initiative website, http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/RuralJobsAccelerator.html.
