Rural Partners Network providing better access to federal resources

The White House is announcing a new nationwide network for rural communities to better access federal resources across all agencies.

The Rural Partners Network will be led by USDA and dedicated staff to help rural areas apply for and secure federal funds from the American Rescue Plan and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Deputy Under Secretary for Rural Development Dustin Maxson says staff will serve as liaisons between communities and development resources.
