USDA Eligible Area Update

Effective February 2, 2015, the USDA will update the eligible area maps. This reclassification will mostly involve areas that are going from rural to non-rural; however any areas that should have previously been made rural will now become eligible.
If the property is no longer eligible based on the new area maps, the file must be conditionally approved by Rural Development (RD) prior to February 2, 2015. Otherwise, the file property eligibility must be rechecked before submitting to RD.
