Create a permanent facility to train residents of rural communities and the USDA Rural Development field staff, both locally and from surrounding states in the capacity building and leadership skills needed to access development programs designed to assist rural communities.

Provide continuing technical assistance and training on community development skills. Create a facility, which can sponsor training conferences for small towns and community leaders. Informational conferences on emerging businesses and the establishment of sustainable business development are also likely possibilities.

Introduce small communities to technology and information links. Facilities for computer conferencing and data sources for strategic planning and other community needs, can be made accessible to community leaders.

Assist small public educational institutions to update their curriculum to meet current needs of the communities they serve. Local workforce skills and educational opportunities for rural residents will improve. The presence of development and leadership skills in rural communities will increase overall.
