USDA Rural Jobs Forum Report

 

Recently The Sierra Fund participated in series of forums put on by USDA to seek input on how to assist rural California communities with economic development.  Staff member Mike Thornton attended the Grass Valley forum to advocate for sustainable and environmentally sound economic strategies that would provide for quality, good paying jobs that can’t be outsourced.

USDA released the document on March 10, 2010 summarizing the results of these forums.  To view this document, follow this link:  www.rurdev.usda.
