Regarding the Rural Business Development Grant (RBDG) in Fiscal Year 2018: Due to the uncertainty of this year funding, as well as the numerous short Continuing Resolutions, Rural Development has determined that it is in the best interest of the program and the Agency to create one standard application window.
The RBDG application window will open on March 1, 2018, and close April 30, 2018. Applications must be received no later than April 30, 2018, to be considered for any anticipated funding.
If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact:
USDA South Dakota Rural Development Business & Cooperative Programs Director Dana Kleinsasser at (605) 352-1142.
