Who We Are...in Tennessee
The overall mission of Tennessee Rural Development is "To increase economic opportunity and improve the quality of life for all rural Americans".
To accomplish this we have the responsibility of coordinating Federal assistance in rural areas of our great state. Working closely with profit and non-profit sectors, along with state, tribal, and local governments, we are fundamentally changing the way in which the Federal government does business.
It is Rural Development's intention to ensure rural citizens can participate fully in the global economy. By providing technical assistance and programs to rural Americans, a stronger economy will be built and will improve the quality of life for all.
