Southwest
REAP Zone consists of Billings, Dunn, Golden Valley,
Stark, Slope, Hettinger, Bowman, Adams Counties and
the south segment of the Three Affiliated Tribes Indian
Reservations.
Established
in 1995, Southwest is one of 2 USDA pilot revitalization
Rural Economic Area Partnership (REAP) zones created
to address critical issues related to out-migration,
constraints in economic activity and growth, low density
settlement patterns, stagnant or declining employment
and isolation that has led to disconnection from markets,
suppliers and centers of information and finance.
