Rural Economic Development Program

The Rural Economic Development (RED) program is a community development initiative that helps rural communities remove barriers to community development and economic growth.

• Revitalized communities
• Improved access to health care services
• Improved access to skills development and enhancement opportunities
• New community development tools
• Sustainable rural economies
• Improved business opportunities
• New and enhanced community partnerships and teamwork
