Rural Community Outreach Program

As part of its ongoing commitment to enhance the standard of living in rural communities across the state: the Institute of Rural Service provides annual grants for rural communities. The goal of this program is to support local efforts to sustain a convenient and satisfying life in the countryside. The grants available this year are as follows:

Business Development Grant: $250,000

Community Development Grant: $150,000

Communications Development Grant: $200,000

Educational Development Grant: $100,000

The institute will give priority to proposals that reflect a comprehensive approach to community development, promote community engagement, and make rural communities a better place to live and work. The grants will allow rural communities to take the first step toward a project or plan that can help improve the lives of rural community members. For the past decades, the grants have been used for a variety of purposes such as state-of-the-art farming equipment, road maintenance, communications infrastructure, educational facilities, and investments for young rural entrepreneurs.

Download this application to apply for a grant. The deadline for submission is February 28.

Village of Cranton Wins Funding

CRANTON, March 22-The Institute of Rural Service announced today that the village of Cranton is this year's recipient of the Educational Development Grant. The grant will be used to fund the construction of a large playground that will provide recreational activities for children under 12. Since the opening of the new electronics factory last year, the number of families in the area has risen dramatically. As a result, children have been left with less and less space to play in. The new playground will allow children to play and enjoy themselves when they are not at school.

Cranton is proud to be the recipient of this grant and plans to apply for more grants in the future to improve the living conditions of the town and attract more residents.

Dear Mr. Parker,

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to interview for the position of admissions coordinator. You requested that I inform you about my availability for September 17. I have another interview at 10:00 A.M., but I will be able to be at Colonial Heights Nursing Home by 1:00 P.M. I hope this is convenient for you. Shady Pines Nursing Home, as you know, is a competing facility located on the other side of town, and the hours they offer are very attractive. I would prefer to work in a modern facility such as Colonial Heights.

I look forward to interviewing with you and touring your facilities.

Sincerely,

Tommy Jenkins

Dear Ms. Lee,

I am writing in regard to my reservation at the Dream Oasis Hotel for October 13 and 14. I received your e-mail about the payment for my upcoming stay at the hotel. However, I would like to inquire about extending my stay for an extra night. I recently heard that there will be a local food festival held on October 16 and I would like to attend it. Therefore, I would like to stay at your hotel until October 15. Please let me know a revised room fee so that I can make the correct payment as soon as possible.

Dear Mr. Baldwin,

You are right to be excited about the food festival that will be held on October 16th. Unfortunately, this event has become so popular that the city fills up for that weekend. I regret to inform you that there is no vacancy at the Dream Oasis Hotel for the night of the 15th. I went ahead and looked into some of our partner hotels in the area, but those properties also are at full occupancy. I do hope you are able to find someplace to stay in the city so you can enjoy the festival while you are in town; I just wish it could have been with us. You could try the Executive Inn in Fairview; it is a large hotel and they do have vacancies.

Sincere apologies,

Amy Lee
