REDI
THE RURAL EMPLOYMENT DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE
The Rural Employment Development Incentive (REDI) grant is designed for businesses creating new high-paying jobs in rural Utah communities. The grant may be available to businesses creating new employment positions in rural counties or in cities/towns with a population of 10,000 or less in Weber, Davis, Utah, and Washington counties.
New jobs can be remote, online, in a satellite hub/office space, or physically located in the same county as the business. Based on the employee’s work location, a business may receive up to $6,000 for each new position.
RCOG
RURAL COMMUNITIES OPPORTUNITY GRANT
Availiable to all rural Utah communities, applicants may receive a grant of up to $600,000. Because the Rural Communities Opportunity Grant is subject to competitive review against other rural community applications and has limited overall funding, applications require significant planning, preparation, and budgeting. We encourage applicants to start the application process early.
The grant can help with economic development needs, which may include business recruitment, development, and expansion, workforce training and development, and infrastructure and capital facilities imrovements for business development.
