Goals and Objectives

• Goal 1
• Increase Economic Opportunity in Rural America
• One of Rural Developments core missions is
  ensuring that rural Americans enjoy economic
  opportunities equivalent to those of other
  Americans.
• A lack of credit and other market imperfections
  sometimes limits the ability of rural economies
  to create the jobs and incomes that would allow
  rural families to succeed and rural youth to
  remain in their communities as adults. Rural
  Development serves as a capital enhancement tool
  for rural America by investing in businesses and
  economic infrastructure.

• Goal 2
• Improve the Quality of Life in Rural America
• Americas rural communities have a remarkable
  energy and strength of character. USDA Rural
  Development will partner its resources with the
  unique qualities of rural communities, thereby
  helping them to grow, share in a healthy economy
  and realize an enhanced quality of life.
• However, if new businesses are to startup in or
  relocate to rural America, the local rural
  community must possess the amenities that
  businesses require and employees desire. This
  includes not only access to such basic needs as
  clean water, adequate housing, and reliable
  electricity and telecommunications, but also
  access to essential needs such as quality
  education, health care and day care.
