USDA Rural Development has launched a new website to enhance program accessibility and customer service.
The new website (www.rd.usda.gov) features quicker and more intuitive access to programs, simplified site navigation, and information about services and staff contacts in every state office. The site also provides easily accessible resources for loan and grant applications, eligibility information and program descriptions. Illinois Rural Development offices and information may be accessed at www.rd.usda.gov/il.
“The new website is part of a continuing effort to make information about Rural Development programs easier to access for anyone interested in the future of rural communities,” said Colleen Callahan, Illinois Rural Development Director. “Reflecting how mobile we’ve all become, the site can now be easily accessed on Smartphones and tablets.”     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
