[OMS_MANAGERS] FW: Stakeholder Announcement: USDA Is Accepting Applications for Placemaking Cooperative Agreements

Thu Jun 30 12:54:24 PDT 2022

Passing along a rural development opportunity. Below are my notes, not an official program summary.

USDA has a limited pool of funding ($4 million total) for rural placemaking via cooperative agreement. Note that there are key details in the Federal Register in lieu of the more familiar Notice of Funding Opportunity (or Notice of Funding Announcement, as USDA calls them). There are several different types of eligible applicants. Deadline is August 15, 2022. Note that there is an emphasis on placemaking plans, among other identified program priorities. Match (15%) required.
