The Department of Commerce, the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority, and the United States Department of Agriculture (Rural Development) are joining together to provide workshops on their community development programs and funding options.  These workshops will be held in late March or early April, 2006 at three statewide locations. 

In addition to a general session to provide program overviews, smaller breakout sessions led by program experts will focus on obtaining resources for business development or expansion, community development/infrastructure, and affordable housing opportunities for your area. The exact dates, locations, and registration information will be available on the Commerce web site in early January.
