IADG and Ripple Effect Partners Secure $900,000

IADG and Ripple Effect partners were successful in securing $900,000 from USDA Rural Development for Iowa projects.   Project awards will help build a multi-purpose community center in Stanton, a new library expansion in North Liberty, and new office space capacity in Moville.   “IADG has had a distinctive track record with USDA Rural Development funding over the years,” said Bruce Nuzum, Vice President Finance for IADG.  “The scoring models at USDA may change in the future, which could make funding more difficult.  If there are projects across Iowa that might benefit from the USDA program, now would be the time to further develop those plans and contact local REC, Telcos or the IADG office,” stated Nuzum.
