Make Your Community Vision A Reality

The Rural Economic Action Plan (REAP) is essential to providing Oklahoma communities with populations under 7,000, the opportunity to improve their infrastructure and quality of life. The Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG), as administrator of REAP funds in Central Oklahoma, will distribute $2.7 million to communities in Canadian, Cleveland, Logan, and Oklahoma Counties in 2024.

ACOG, as a regional Council of Governments, is the state appointed agency to distribute its equal share of the $30 million the Oklahoma Department of Commerce allocated for the REAP Program.

During the 2023 Legislative Session, Oklahoma lawmakers allocated $30 million to the Oklahoma Department of Commerce for the REAP program. In FY 2024, as the distributor of REAP funding for the Central Oklahoma region, ACOG will distribute an unprecedented $2.7 million to communities in Canadian, Cleveland, Logan, and Oklahoma counties.

REAP grants require no match and may fund projects such as road and street construction or repair, drainage projects, rural highway improvements, county bridge construction or repair, industrial access road construction or repair, among other specific transportation projects.

REAP grants may include improvements in rural water quality, rural solid waste disposal or treatment, rural sanitary sewer construction or upgrades, provision of rural health care services (including emergency medical care), telecommunications improvements, projects that increase employment levels, and municipal energy distribution system improvements.
