This federal funding will help provide management resources for rural, small business owners, equipping them with tools for success,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren. This funding comes from the USDA’s Rural Business Development Grants Program, which promotes economic development and job creation in rural communities. The funding is projected to assist at least 75 businesses within Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito counties.
