Summary
Broadens access to rural innovation grants while authorizing a new five-year funding stream. This bill shifts the Rural Innovation Stronger Economy program away from a narrow "industry cluster" test toward support for industries present in a community, adds population targets for small towns, strengthens state-level concurrence on awards, and sets a funding authorization through 2030.
Show full summary
- Rural communities: Focuses on a broad set of rural community types, emphasizes towns under 20,000, and requires at least 10% of grants to benefit the smallest communities.
- Local applicants and partnerships: Replaces cluster-specific rules with a general grant framework so partnerships can fund a wider range of regional activities tied to local industries.
- State offices and grant selection: Requires concurrence from the applicable State rural development office and directs the Secretary to ensure diverse industry representation when awarding grants.
*Authorizes $50.0 million per year for FY2026–2030, totaling $250.0 million in authorized funding over five years if fully appropriated.*
