Congressman Larry Bucshon will host an Explore Rural Resources presentation on Wednesday, March 19, 2014, at 9:30am EDT.
The event will be held at the Vincennes University Jasper Campus, Center for Technology, Innovation and Manufacturing Auditorium, 850 College Avenue, Jasper, Indiana.
The free event is for area businesses, economic development representatives, lenders, and leaders to learn about available federal programs and services which can help rural Hoosiers.
“It is important that Hoosiers are aware of the valuable resources available to them through the federal government,” said Rep. Bucshon, M.D. “I’m happy that we are able to gather federal and local leaders to answer questions and meet with constituents to address any concerns they may have.”
Officials from USDA Rural Development, USDA Farm Services, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the US Small Business Administration will provide agency insight and be able to answer questions participants may have at a network session following the event.
