Input Survey: WSDA Local Food Infrastructure, Supply Chain and Market Access Grants 

Thank you for your input!

WSDA Regional Markets would like your input on the design of this upcoming grant so that it achieves its purpose. This survey is one in a variety of ways we will be seeking input.

These new grants are intended to improve food supply chain infrastructure and market access for farms, food processors, and food distributors. Approximately half of the funds are specifically prioritized for women, minority, and small business owners. This is a one-time grant opportunity that will be available during 2022 and 2023.

Thank you very much for your time.  Any responses you give to any of the questions are helpful!
