Biden-Harris Administration Announces More Than $800 Million to Strengthen Rural Infrastructure and Create Jobs

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is investing $808 million to help rural cooperatives and utilities build and improve electric infrastructure and increase electric grid reliability and security, connecting hundreds of thousands of people in rural areas. In Vermont, a Community Facilities Grant for $60,000 is an investment that will be used to renovate and expand the Jeudevine Memorial Library. In the new space, library patrons can find a quiet nook for themselves, access the internet, and participate in intergenerational programs and community events around this cornerstone of the community.
