Business Development Programs
USDA Rural Development offers a wide array of programs and services
to assist in
promoting long-range community development plans, which focus on the
creation of jobs
in rural areas.
Cooperatives
As with our other business related programs, the Cooperative Program
offers assistance
to residents to develop and sustain successful cooperative business
ventures. Assistance
is provided to those interested in forming new rural cooperatives and
those wishing to
improve the operations of existing rural cooperatives.
