Communities across the U.S. can now apply for grant funds that have been allocated to the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA).

As part of the American Rescue Plan, $3 billion has been given to the EDA, which has put together six programs to help communities, businesses and industries lessen the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had. Some programs are designed to revitalize a company’s economy, providing training to get employees back to work, tailoring work to meet local needs, grant funds specifically for the indegenious population, revalitzing tourism and extending technical help to grantees. 

Contact Region XII Council of Governments to learn more about these grants.
