The Lumbee Tribe of NC is joining State and Tribal Leaders to focus on rural development. Lumbee Tribe of NC Director of Housing Services, Bradley Locklear, and Intrim Agriculture & Natural Resources Manager, Larry Edwards, attended the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Tribal Leaders Meeting today in Raleigh, NC, hosted by the North Carolina Commission of Indian Affairs. The meeting focused on rural development, in which USDA Under Secretary Rural Development, Dr. Basil Gooden, spoke about the issues, concerns, and needs associated with American Indian Tribes and communities.

Thank you to the NC Commission of Indian Affairs for conducting this forum to address much needed issues surrounding rural development throughout American Indian Tribes’ communities.
