ALOHA!!!! Welcome to the USDA Rural Development Hawaii State Office website . Administered from Hilo, Hawaii, we are dedicated to serving rural Hawaii, American Samoa and the Western Pacific.
Our area serviced covers approximately 4.5 million square miles in the Pacific Ocean with a diversity of cultures and languages, three Foreign Countries, two U.S. Territories, a Commonwealth, and three American Embassies.Rural communities require strong coalitions and strategic partnerships to prosper. Rural residents need affordable homes and essential community facilities. Rural workers need good jobs and rural businesses need economic stimulus to compete and expand. Rural communities need dependable water and utility services, along with improved infrastructure support to enjoy an improved quality of life.
USDA Rural Development looks forward to the future and the many opportunities that are available to rural Hawaii, American Samoa and the Western Pacific (includes Guam, Common Wealth of the Marianas Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of Palau, and the Marshall Islands). I promise that our Agency will continue to aggressively commit our resources to serve these areas and its rural citizens. To learn more about the Agency's programs, I invite you to browse our USDA Rural Development website.
