USDA’s Community Food Projects program funds local food projects up to $400,000, with a one-to-one match. Nonprofits apply, not counties — but county land, Extension staff time or a site can count toward the match. We ask Independence County to offer a letter of support and an in-kind match to a local nonprofit that applies.

When it reaches the goal it’s handed to the officials named above at a public meeting, and their answer is posted online. This is a petition to your elected officials — like the clipboard at the courthouse door. It does not put anything on the ballot; in Arkansas and most states that takes ink signatures from registered voters. Names are never shown publicly. County Commons — an independent, nonpartisan public-records project.
