Senator Gillibrand recognizes the barriers many rural communities face in accessing federal programs meant to help them thrive.
“We have the unique opportunity with the Rural Prosperity Act to improve how the federal government invests in rural America and fix a system that is too narrow and inflexible to meet the specific needs of rural communities,” said Gillibrand.“This bipartisan bill would create an Office of Rural Prosperity to ensure these communities have the support needed to overcome complex challenges when seeking federal support. This model has already proven to be successful and will help New York’s rural communities thrive.”
Senator Gillibrand joins a growing number of legislators in both the Senate and House of Representatives in pushing for this key move to push for rural equity.
