Welcome to the Indiana Office of Community & Rural Affairs
Viable rural communities are key to Indiana’s future. For this reason, the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs seeks to improve the quality of life in rural areas. The Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs was established in 2005 to serve Indiana’s rural communities through technical, financial and community assistance. We do this by helping Indiana’s residents, community leaders, and grant writers use state and federal resources to meet their goals.
Lt. Governor Skillman
"With 75% of Indiana's counties designated as 'rural,' we must cater to the needs of these communities and offer any assistance possible to promote successful and sustainable rural Indiana communities."
- Lt. Governor Skillman, Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development
