Welcome to USDA Rural Development
in Georgia.
Through our business, housing, and community
programs and initiatives, USDA Rural Development invested
over $184 million in Georgia's rural communities during
Fiscal Year 2006. This investment has resulted in
improved water and sewage services, new and improved
community facilities, affordable rental housing for
senior citizens and low-income families, homeownership
for families, new jobs, new industries, and sustainable
communities. In addition, over $106 million in
loans were made to rural electric membership cooperatives,
$23 million in loans were made to rural telephone
cooperatives, almost $34 million in rural broadband loans
and a $500,000 loan was provided for distance learning.
President
Bush has stated, “The goal of government is not to create wealth, but to
create conditions where wealth can be created locally.”
USDA-Rural Development is proud to be a part of these efforts in Housing,
Community Programs and Business Programs.
USDA Rural Development is dedicated to the goals of the Rural Development
mission area. Helping the people of rural Georgia to develop sustainable communities and to improve their quality of life are the goals that we
are striving to meet.
