Summary
The Rural Innovation Stronger Economy (RISE) Reauthorization Act extends the existing grant program and increases its budget to $50 million each year from 2027 to 2031. It shifts the focus toward smaller rural communities, requiring at least 10 % of grants go to towns with fewer than 10,000 people. The changes also simplify language about “industry clusters” and adjust eligibility rules.
