Rural Conditions and Trends: Federal Programs

This issue of Rural Conditions and Trends describes Federal program and policy changes and their significance for rural areas. Our focus is on programs traditionally associated with rural development, such as assistance for infrastructure, businesses, and housing. However, we also look at many other programs of importance to rural communities and economies, like the environment and natural resources, agriculture, defense, social security, health, and education and training programs. We also discuss major tax and regulatory changes. The result is a fairly comprehensive review of how changes in Federal Government activities play out over the rural landscape.
