U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) agencies are teaming up in May to provide multiple workshops aimed at helping Jasper, Orangeburg, Chester, Florence and surrounding county residents with USDA investments in conservation practices, housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure.
During the state-wide workshops, area residents, landowners, community organizations, businesses, foundations, schools, universities, and faith-based and other groups can expect to learn about a number of programs from cost-sharing and financial assistance to loans and grants.
