Urban-Oriented Program Helped Rural Communities

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1988, vol. 05, issue 01

Abstract: Urban Development Action Grants proved a boon to rural communities. The program created and retained jobs in the most distressed rural communities, at a cost of less than $3,000 per job. UDAG's concept of requiring private and government seed money helped target funds toward projects likely to succeed. Though UDAG funding was terminated in 1988, the parts that seemed to work, at least in rural areas, might be worthwhile considering in other development programs.
