Energizing Jefferson County Business: Your Fair Share of USDA REAP Grants

The Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce is always on the lookout for resources that can help its business members thrive.  One of those in the fall of 2022 was a free workshop about the Rural Energy for America Program.  REAP is covering a larger portion of costs than ever for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects for your small business. While this can apply to agribusinesses, you do not have to be a farmer to qualify for these small business grants in rural areas like Jefferson County. Solar Alliance presented case studies and details, with representatives from the USDA Tennessee State Office of Rural Development on hand to answer questions.
