USDA Rural Development offers programs and services to build, expand and improve community-based businesses, including movie theaters and performing arts venues.

Program staff will discuss how funding can upgrade equipment, install renewable energy systems, finance expansions and more.

Staff will preview a new resource guide that will help people better navigate these programs. USDA expects to make the guide publicly available in the coming weeks.
