Exploring Policy Options for a New Rural America

Yet signs are mounting that a new approach to rural policy is needed if rural America's Main Streets are to keep pace with the rest of the nation.Partnering with the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City Community Affairs Department, the Center for the Study of Rural America hosted its second conference in 2001. "Exploring Policy Options for a New Rural America" brought together a distinguished group of rural experts from the United States and abroad to share their ideas and experiences and to shed light on which policy options offer the greatest promise for the future of rural America.Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City is the author of 'Exploring Policy Options for a New Rural America' with ISBN 9780894991578 and ISBN 0894991574.
