Section 9007 Rural Energy for America Program (Grant and Loan Guarantee)and Value Added Producer Grant Program
This training provides information for prospective applicants of two programs of USDA, Rural Development: Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) and Value Added Producer Grant Program (VAPG).
REAP: Eligible applicants are agricultural producers and rural small businesses; program provides grants and loan guarantees for renewable energy systems and energy efficiency improvements for business/commercial (not residential). VAPG: Eligible applicants are independent producers, farmer or rancher cooperatives, agricultural producer groups, and majority-controlled producer based business ventures; program provides grants for value-added planning and working capital.
These programs are a vital tool to help support rural businesses, create new markets for agricultural products, and assist our country in becoming more energy independent. We believe that the State of New Mexico has an untapped source of projects that can be successful under these programs. Come join us at any one of the scheduled trainings to learn more about these programs and how they can benefit your operation.
