Intergovernmental Review Procedures

On September 29, 2004, USDA Rural Development and the Georgia State Clearinghouse entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) concerning the review of projects funded under USDA programs.  The MOU states that the Intergovernmental Review is waived in certain cases that involve technical assistance, equipment purchases, or other miscellaneous issues i.e. refinancing, inventory, or working capital.  Clearinghouse approval is still needed for projects involving construction, renovation, or rehabilitation that will involve state funds or for those projects that will have a state-wide impact.

The Georgia State Clearinghouse is managed by Barbara Jackson.  Her phone number is 404-656-3855.  Click to view the website for the Clearinghouse: Governor's State Clearinghouse.

More information can be obtained at that site concerning the information that is needed when filing for their review.

Please feel free to review any of the following documents in order to learn more about the new requirements for reviews within Georgia.
