The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development program is accepting applications for funding under its Renewable Energy for America Program through May 2, 2016, José Otero-García, the agency’s state director for Puerto Rico, said Tuesday.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded just over $14 million to fund 21 projects in Puerto Rico during the 2015 fiscal year, a record figure that went toward modernizing infrastructure, providing essential services and improving access to health care, José Otero-García, Rural Development State Director for Puerto Rico, said.
