The U.S. Department of Agriculture is promoting a grant program that officials hope will spur job creation in rural areas.
The department will hand out $15 million to about 20 entities for marketing and planning efforts through the Jobs and Innovation Accelerator challenge, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in an interview Friday.
Vilsack said development in rural areas is a priority for President Barack Obama’s administration. He said many rural areas struggle with coordinating job creation efforts.
