The Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant program (REDLG) provides zero-interest funds from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to local electric cooperatives who in turn lend the money to local entities for projects  that support rural areas. These loans promote rural economic development and job creation projects.  As the funds are repaid to the co-op, a portion of the funds can be re-loaned to assist with future projects in our communities.
