Local Meat Capacity Grant (Local MCap)

The Local Meat Capacity Grant Program supports independently owned meat and poultry processing businesses with grant funds to provide more and better processing options for local livestock producers by modernizing, increasing, diversifying, and decentralizing meat and poultry processing capacity.  

The funding opportunity for the 2023 Local Meat Capacity Grant Program is closed.

The Local Meat Capacity program was funded by the American Rescue Plan Act. Currently, there is not a FY2024 Request for Applications.
