Bill > HR5598

This bill, known as the Revitalizing Rural Communities Act of 2025, extends and increases funding for the Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant Program administered by the Department of Agriculture. Specifically, the bill amends the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 by increasing the annual funding from $10 million to $12 million and extending the program's funding period from fiscal years 2019-2023 to fiscal years 2026-2030. The Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant Program is designed to support economic development initiatives in rural areas, helping to stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and improve infrastructure in less populated regions of the United States. By increasing the funding and extending the program's timeline, the bill aims to provide more sustained support for rural communities' economic development efforts.
