each program goals and objectives,
funding availability, and contact
information. The booklet was widely
distributed throughout the state and
was well received by rural residents,
local government officials, and com
munity organizations. However, any
one who wanted more information
about other programs needed to con
tact the Center for Rural Pennsyl
vania for that information.
In this updated version of the
guide, which was developed by the
Center for Rural Pennsylvania and
the Pennsylvania State Association of
Township Supervisors, the entire
m
database is immediately accessible
through the Center’s website at
www.ruralpa.org.
“Being able to offer the entire
database is a wonderful advantage of
using the Internet,” Miller said.
“Another advantage is that the infor
mation can be updated more fre
quently and offered immediately to
users, because the Center plans on
updating the database at least once a
year.”
Recognizing that some rural resi
dents may not have convenient access
to the Internet, the Center for Rural
Pennsylvania will also publish a

booklet version of the guide for limit
ed distribution. The booklet will be
available in late spring.
While the “Rural Access Guide”
includes an extensive listing of infor
mation. Miller offers that it should
not be the final stop for information.
“It is a starting point from which
rural and small town residents might
more successfully begin their journey
through the maze of financial and
informational sources that are avail
able at both the state and national lev
els,” Miller said. “We encourage rural
residents to take advantage of the
programs offered in the ‘Rural
Access Guide’ so that they might
continue to answer the needs of their
communities and organizations.”
