Economic Development Administration (EDA) Grants
Typical EDA grants are in the $500,000 to $1,000,000 range and proposed investments must meet the following criteria:
- Market-based;
- Proactive in nature and scope;
- Look beyond the immediate economic horizon, anticipate economic changes and diversify the local and regional economy;
- Have a high probability of success;
- Maximize the attraction of private sector investment and would not otherwise come to fruition absent EDA’s investment;
- Result in an environment where higher-skill, higher-wage jobs are created;
- Maximize return on taxpayer investment.
