Opportunities at NCNMEDD
To combat difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic our office has compiled a list of resources available to community members, governments, and small business owners.
EDA Announces Notice of Funding for New Programs
The U.S. Economic Development Administration recently came out with several anticipated Notice of Funding Opportunities. The programs are designed to “build back better” by accelerating the economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic and building local economies that will be resilient to future economic shocks.
This American Rescue Plan funding will enable “EDA to provide larger, more transformational investments across the nation while utilizing its greatest strengths, including flexible funding to support community-led economic development.” With an emphasis on equity, these EDA investments are meant to directly benefit previously underserved.
Below you will find a matrix of the grants that apply to our region, compiled by our Community Development Planner, Alison Turner, and the Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for each grant. Please keep mind that because most of these are new programs, we will continue to gather additional information and participate in available trainings in order to provide support as your respective communities consider applicable projects for such funding. If you have a project in mind, or questions about the programs, please reach out to our staff for an appointment.
