The North West Rural Electric Cooperative has received a $208,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Business Cooperative Services under the Rural Economic Development Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.854).

Specifically, the funding will enable North West Rural Electric Cooperative to provide services such as project feasibility studies, business start-up assistance, and other activities that spur economic and employment opportunities in the rural communities it serves. The Cooperative has been a prime recipient of multiple grants under this program, ranging from $208,000 to $300,000, and has also served as a subrecipient partner on a public utilities grant from the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department.
