USDA Energy Funding Workshop02:36PM / Thursday, February 05, 2009
LANESBOROUGH, Mass. - Want to learn more about funding available for your renewable energy or efficiency project? Attend a free workshop for farmers and forest product business owners about financial incentives available through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) 9007 Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), part of the current federal Farm Bill. REAP funding supports a diverse range of clean energy technologies: not only biofuels but also wind, solar, biomass electricity, biogas and energy efficiency. In 2008, 769 projects were awarded a total of $34 million in grants and $15.5 million in loan guarantees nationwide. Fifteen Massachusetts rural small businesses and farmers received $1,039,177.
Sponsored by Berkshire Pioneer Resource Conservation and Development (BP RC&D), Massachusetts Farm Energy Program (MFEP), USDA-Rural Development, MA Department of Agriculture (MDAR) and the MA Woodlands Institute (MWI), this workshop and information session will include an overview of funding, technical and financial assistance programs and eligibility requirements. Technical support is available to eligible agricultural participants for grant writing services.
The workshop will be held:
Feb. 18, 9:30 am - 12:30 pm
Lanesborough Town Hall, Community Room
83 N Main St, Lanesborough, MA 01237
Parking is available in the Town Hall parking lot, behind the building. Use the lower door to access the Community Room.
Follow-up grant writing workshops will be held in February and March for those interested in applying for a REAP grant and/or guaranteed loan. USDA-Rural Development, MFEP, and Mass Woodlands Institute staff will provide one-on-one assistance. These dates are to be announced. Attendance at a general information session and pre-registration will be required. Funding for this free workshop series has been provided through a USDA-RD Rural Business Enterprise Grant, and both Berkshire-Pioneer Resource Conservation &Development, the administrator of the MFEP, and MWI are equal opportunity employers.
