Who is geographically eligible?

The attached map shows the shaded areas within Lycoming County which are defined by USDA as being “urban,” thus, not eligible for USDA assistance. County residents who reside OUTSIDE the shaded areas are considered “rural,” thus, are deemed geographically eligible for USDA to assist. The boundary lines shown on the map are approximate – USDA should be consulted for a final determination of geographical eligibility.
