Board authorizes application for USDA rural business grant to support Kane County food and farm technical assistance
Summary
Commissioner Juby introduced and the board approved a resolution authorizing application for and administration of a U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Business Development Grant to support a Kane County food and farm technical-assistance program.
Commissioner Juby presented Resolution TMP26-936, asking the board to authorize application for and administration of a U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Business Development Grant to fund Kane County's food and farm technical assistance program. "It basically allows, it allows, the department to, apply for the grant and then administer the grant if it's accepted," Juby said when introducing the item. The board moved the resolution, the motion was seconded by Allen, and the item passed on roll call.
Why it matters: If funded, the grant would provide federal resources the county can use to deliver technical assistance to food and farm businesses; the resolution authorizes both application and local administration if the award is granted. Details on award size and implementation were not specified in the discussion and would be provided if and when the grant is awarded.
