We Are Losing Millions of USDA Dollars for the West Valley Area

The USDA Rural Development Program offers assistance to communities and counties in rural areas. This is done by done in a variety of ways some of which are :

• Affordable Housing programs


• 100% financed USDA Guaranteed Mortgages


• Educational Programs


• Many other projects. (See the USDA website for more information.)
  

Currently much of the western part of Goodyear, all of Waddell, Verado and Buckeye are considered rural "in nature" and are eligible for USDA Rural Development funds and programs. This is scheduled to end the beginning of 2009 even though much of the area remains rural in nature despite the increase in population.

The purpose of this blog site is to gather community and county leaders from the areas involved to prevent the loss of the USDA Rural Development eligibility for this West Valley Area. If the area is realigned and taken out of its rural designation millions of dollars would be lost from the already economically stressed area. (Proposed new ineligible area)
