Description
The Economic Development Administration (EDA) provides funding through its Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) programs to support a wide range of economic development activities aimed at fostering job creation, attracting private investment, and advancing economic prosperity in distressed U.S. regions. This opportunity funds both construction and non-construction projects, including infrastructure, technical assistance, planning, and revolving loan funds. Special focus areas include communities impacted by changes in the coal, nuclear, and biomass economies, as well as projects that align with EDA’s investment priorities such as critical infrastructure, workforce development, innovation, economic recovery, and manufacturing.
