$28 million earmarked for rural Wisconsin

Wisconsin U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin says she has helped secure more than $28 million to support farmers and rural communities in her state.

The Senate Appropriations Committee member says the investments from USDA Rural Development programs are mostly funded by legislation she supported.

Funds are being awarded to 11 cities, Tribes, companies, and individuals to help improve public health and safety, expand access to clean, safe water, and grow Wisconsin’s economy.
