New Website Launched for RMPIF
The General Assembly created the Rural Maryland Prosperity Investment Fund in 2006
to help raise the overall standard of living in rural areas to a level that
meets or exceeds statewide benchmark averages. To date, no funding has been
appropriated. The Rural Maryland Council, which administers the Fund, estimates
$4 million a year is needed to meet the objectives of the legislation.

has also been developed to provide more extensive information.

The Mission of the Rural Maryland Council is to build a bright future for Rural Maryland
by helping to address its unique concerns. The RMC works towards achieving effective solutions
by bringing together a diverse partnership of federal, state, and local government officials and
representatives from the private nonprofit and for-profit sectors to form a strong collective
voice dedicated to addressing the critical issues facing Rural Marylanders. The success of the
RMC depends on the strength of its Executive Board, membership and Working Committees. Our
general membership includes several hundred people -- each of whom brings a unique perspective,
background, knowledge, and skill set to the table. Any Maryland citizen is eligible to become a
member of the RMC. There is no fee for joining, just fill out an application form, mail or fax
it back to us and we'll be in touch. Read More About Us
