A federal government program aimed at helping small rural businesses with acquiring more efficient energy received high marks from some Kansas small-town businesses.
The Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) is part of the Inflation Reduction Act and had funding of $145 million. It is a grant and financing program. Applicants can get up to 50% funding and loan guarantees of up to 75% of the total project cost.
It is also only available to agriculture operations and small businesses in towns of fewer than 50,000 people reported Flatland, a division of Kansas City Public Broadcasting.
