American Recovery & Reinvestment Act Funding for Rural Communities David Shideler, Brian Whitacre Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service

Overview This gives you an idea of what funds are available in OK. In some cases, as we saw USDA, the programs are still waiting regulations and authorization from Federal agencies – so there’s not much to report. In other cases, the opportunity is currently soliciting applications or the deadline has passed. We will highlight those opportunities that remain available or that you will want to watch for more information. Our focus will be on community programs. I will also note now that key criteria in evaluating grants for ARRA funds will be job creation, and the extent to which the jobs are created locally.

Energy Programs State Energy Program RFP deadline passed on April 27, 2009 Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants Program Priorities: Alternative fuel (compressed natural gas, hybrids), Demand management, Carbon capture, Renewable energy (ground source heat pumps), Energy efficiency (building retrofits), Education Deadlines: Community Proposals for State Funding, May 19, 2009 Proposals for Federal Funding, June 25, 2009 Weatherization Funds to be distributed to Community Action Agencies

Economic Development Community Development Block Grants Still awaiting final regulations Entitlement communities not eligible At least 51% of the jobs to be created will be held by or made available to persons who qualify as Low to Moderate Income (LMI) persons At least one (1) permanent job will be created for every $35,000 of CDBG funds requested.  Lower costs per job ratios are encouraged Economic Development Infrastructure Financing Grants Maximum of $1 million Special set aside for Indian Tribes
