Loans are made to local public agencies or groups for rural renewal development projects which are specifically related to conservation and land utilization. Each project will be an important component of the overall rural renewal plan previously developed to rebuild the economy of the designated area. To be eligible for designation as a rural renewal area, the locality must be one of chronic underemployment on farms and unemployment in the surrounding communities. The area must also be one in which agriculture or forestry contribute substantially to the economy. The 1966 request is to provide for continuation of program operation in five pilot project areas. Program operations include selection and designation of rural renewal areas, technical assistance to local public bodies or officials, or organizations in the preparation of an economic development plan, and counsel to local agencies and groups for meeting legal requirements necessary for borrowing funds. The borrowing agency is designated by the State legislature or Governor to receive rural renewal loan funds and is vested with authority under State and local laws to borrow funds, buy and sell property, raise revenue, meet financial obligations and transact other necessary business functions.
