The U.S. Economic Development Administration said it intends to award $7.4 million to Georgia’s REGEN AG coalition. The proposed work would develop uses for timber waste, including materials for livestock feed, and test approaches intended to make regional agricultural supply chains more resilient.

EDA said the federal funding is backed by $24 million in private investment and responds to damage from Hurricane Helene. The announcement describes intended funding and exploratory work; it does not claim the new products, revenue or supply-chain improvements have already been delivered.
