The Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) designed the Rural County Grant (RCG) to empower rural county governments to manage their unique economic development opportunities and to take responsibility for planning, projects, and activities that will lead to improved economies.
The grant addresses economic development needs in the following categories:
