Description
The CDBG Economic Development Infrastructure Grant, administered by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA), provides funding for public infrastructure projects that promote economic development in Alabama’s non-entitlement communities. The grant is part of the broader Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and is designed to support projects that create or improve public infrastructure necessary for economic growth, such as water, sewer, streets, and other facilities, with a primary focus on benefiting low- and moderate-income (LMI) residents.
Projects must align with one or more of the CDBG program’s national objectives: benefiting LMI persons, aiding in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or addressing urgent community needs. Applicants are required to use a dedicated application form and follow detailed guidelines for documentation, citizen participation, and project impact.
