Responsible Staff: Jeff Hayes
These services are made possible by a grant from the US Deptartment of Commerce, Economic Development Administration
Purpose
Providing project development services for projects ranked in the CEDS is one of the primary purposes of the EDA planning grant.
Description
NCC provides project development assistance on CEDS-prioritized projects to communities and nonprofits for no cost.
Below is a partial list of EDA investment programs:
Public Works
The Public Works Program empowers distressed communities to revitalize, expand, and upgrade their physical infrastructure to attract new industry, encourage business expansion, diversify local economies, and generate or retain long-term, private sector jobs and investment.
Economic Adjustment Assistance Program
The Economic Adjustment Program assists state and local interests to design and implement strategies to adjust or bring about change to an economy. The program focuses on areas that have experienced or are under threat of serious structural damage to the underlying economic base.
Local Technical Assistance
The Technical Assistance Program helps fill the knowledge and information gaps that may prevent leaders in the public and nonprofit sectors in distressed areas from making optimal decisions on local economic development issues.
Trade Adjustment Assistance
EDA uses a national network of twelve Trade Adjustment Assistance Centers to help manufacturers and producers affected by increased imports prepare and implement strategies to guide their economic recovery.
