Rural Business Opportunity Grant
|
New Roads,
Louisiana
NEW ROADS, October
23, 2007 – State Director Clyde Holloway presented $50,000 in USDA
Rural Development grant funds to the Pointe Coupee Parish Police
Jury in ceremonies in New Roads. The funds will be used to develop
a community master plan for unincorporated areas of Pointe Coupee
Parish.
“Once a community
master plan is developed, parish leaders will have a tool that will
help guide economic growth and development,” said Holloway. “USDA
Rural Development is committed to helping rural communities promote
sustainable economic development.”
The grant funds were
awarded through USDA Rural Development’s Rural Business Opportunity
Grant (RBOG) program.
The
RBOG program finances training and technical assistance for business
development and assists with economic development planning.
