EDA
EDA
The Economic Development Association (EDA) is a federal agency under the Department of Commerce. The EDA offers grant funding for infrastructure related projects. Region 3A works directly with them.
The EDA typically provides a 50/50 match of grant funding for infrastructure projects. However, it can be more or less depending on economic factors. Private investment and community investment go a long way in making potential infrastructure projects come to fruition. Region 3A helps communities leverage their resources to secure grant funding on these projects and ensures all information and criteria are provided to get the most funding available.
