ANNUAL REPORTS

EDA provides direct grants, on a cost-share basis, for projects that will create and retain private-sector jobs and leverage public and private investment in distressed areas. EDA provides community and regional economic development assistance for the following program activities:

1) Planning and Technical Assistance to build local capacity for economic development programs and projects.This includes assistance for local, State and regional planning organizations that target distressed rural and urban communities, and for University Centers and other projects that provide technical support for economic development.

2) Public Works and Development Facilities to support industrial, commercial, and technology-based employment in eligible areas experiencing significant economic distress. These projects will diversify the local economy and improve conditions for sustained economic growth. Examples include grants to improve or develop transportation facilities, water and sewer systems for industrial use, industrial parks and buildings, business incubators and technology training centers, telecommunications facilities and research parks.

3) Economic Adjustment Assistance to address severe economic dislocations, natural disasters, or other special needs. In addition, grants may be used to establish revolving loan funds for business retention, expansion or new enterprise development. Funds are expected to leverage other public and private capital for strategic investments in local capital markets.
