Kemp announces new Rural Site Development Grants

Gov. Brian Kemp has announced the latest round of grants for the Rural Site Development Initiative, the third round of grants for the program that aims to boost rural economic development. The $4.3 million in this round takes the total committed to the program since its launch two years to $21 million. 

“In Georgia, we are committed to bringing good-paying jobs to every part of the state,” said Governor Brian Kemp. “The Rural Site Development Initiative is a great tool in helping us bring opportunity to every zip code, and I am grateful for the partnership of the General Assembly and the leadership of the state agencies involved, without whom this generational impact for rural communities would not be possible."
