USDA Rural Development says the agency is investing over 2-point-3-million dollars in several grants to projects in Iowa that promote rural small businesses, industry, public safety, and sanitation.
Butler County REC received a 300-thousand dollar grant to expand a revolving loan fund that it administers.
This project will partially finance the construction of a new dental office for Smiley Family Dentistry, L-L-C in Waverly.
Once completed, this project will expand dental health services, create jobs, and promote economic development in this rural area.
