Two Rivers RC&D is a nonprofit, 501 (c)(3) corporation. It was created through authority of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1962 (PL 87-703). There are 300 RC&D's in the nation today, located in all 50 states and U. S. Territories. Office Space, a coordinator, and a program assistant are provided through the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service. No federal funds are provided for the operation of the RC&D Council. In the past year, Two Rivers RC&D has completed 15 projects for a total cost of $209,640. Since 1972, the Two Rivers Resource Conservation & Development Board of Directors has completed over 311 projects, totaling a value of more than $43 million dollars. These funds were obtained from federal, state, and local units of governments, as well as private sources. For every dollar appropriated by Congress, the Two Rivers RC&D has leveraged an average of $14 from other sources to support conservation and economic development in our home communities. Currently, there are 44 projects in various stages of implementation in the Two Rivers RC&D Area. Technical and financial assistance to implement these projects have been provided by a number of state and federal programs and agencies including the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, the state legislature, Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, Illinois Department of Agriculture, USDA’s Rural Development, Natural Resources Conservation Service, the U. S. Forest Service, and Extension Service. |
