Rapoza Associates www.rapoza.org Rural Definition
Rapoza Associates www.rapoza.org Without Congressional Action… On October 1, 2012, USDA must update its “rural” definition with 2010 Census data. As a result 923 rural communities will no longer be eligible for USDA Rural Development funding. To be eligible, these communities must fall within the original—and very restrictive—definition, which limits eligibility to only those communities: (1) with a population less than 20,000, and (2) that are not located in a metropolitan statistical area (MSA).
Rapoza Associates www.rapoza.org Impacted Communities According to USDA, 923 rural communities will no longer be eligible for USDA Rural Development funding after October 1. 365 will lose eligibility due to population size; 483 will lose eligibility due to the expiration of the grandfathering clause; and 78 non-grandfathered communities will lose eligibility due to the MSA restriction.
Rapoza Associates www.rapoza.org Farm Bill Provision Sen. Nelson (NE), Johanns (NE), Moran (KS) and Johnson (SD)., have sponsored language (Sec. 12207) to: Extend the grandfathering clause until the 2020 Census; and Increase the population limit to 35,000.
Rapoza Associates www.rapoza.org Senate Appropriations Provision The Senate Appropriations bill includes language (Sec. to extend eligibility for all communities that are currently eligible under the “rural definition” for 1 year.
