On Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that the department is sending $3.1 million to farms and small businesses throughout rural parts of Georgia.
The expansion will be executed from grants through the Rural Energy for America Program and the Renewable and Energy Efficiency Program, which in turn are primarily funded by President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, according to a recent press release from the department.
“The Biden-Harris Administration is partnering with people in rural communities across our nation to expand access to clean energy and save rural Americans money,” said USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack in the release. “We are hard at work, continuing what we’ve always done, supporting rural small businesses and farmers as they create jobs for their communities and drive economic prosperity.”
