Economic Development Assistance Programs
Funding Source: Economic Development Administration, U.S.
Department of Commerce
Funding Amount: Total Program Funding: $250.741 million
available in FY 2007 for the economic development assistance
programs
authorized by PWEDA and for the Trade Adjustment Assistance
for Firms Program (TAA Program) authorized under the Trade
Act. Cost Sharing: Yes
Eligibility: Pursuant to PWEDA, eligible applicants for and
eligible recipients of EDA investment assistance include
a(n): (i) District Organization; (ii) Indian Tribe or a consortium
of Indian Tribes; (iii) State, a city or other political
subdivision
of a State,
including a special purpose unit of a State or local government
engaged in economic or infrastructure development activities,
or a consortium of political subdivisions; (iv) institution
of higher education or a consortium of institutions of higher
education; or (v) public or private non-profit organization
or association acting in cooperation
with officials of a political subdivision of a State. Projects
eligible for Public Works or Economic Adjustment investment
assistance include those projects located in regions meeting
``Special Need'' criteria (as defined in 13 CFR 300.3), as
set forth in section VIII.B. of the FFO announcement. For-profit,
private-sector entities do not qualify for investment assistance
under PWEDA, with one minor exception: EDA may award a grant
under section 207 (42 U.S.C. 3147) of PWEDA under its Local
Technical
Assistance Program or National Technical Assistance Program
to a for-profit organization for the specific purposes set
forth in 13 CFR 306.1. EDA is not authorized to provide grants
directly to individuals or to for-profit entities seeking
to start or expand a private business. Such requests may
be referred
to State or local agencies, or
to non-profit economic development organizations serving
the region in
which the project will be located. Any community affected
by the 1988, 1991, 1993, 1995 or 2005 base realignment and
closure
(BRAC) actions, which qualifies under EDA's Public Works
Program or Economic Adjustment Assistance Program, may apply for assistance under one or both of these programs.
EDA anticipates that proponents with construction proposals
will
seek funding from the Public Works Program, and strategic
planning, credit enhancement or other innovative financing
proposals
will compete under the Economic Adjustment Assistance Program.
Description: For the following programs
authorized by the Public Works and Economic Development Act
of 1965 (42 U.S.C.
3121
et seq.) (PWEDA): (1) Public Works and Economic Development
Investments Program, (2) Planning Program, (3) Local Technical
Assistance Program, and (4) Economic Adjustment Assistance
Program. EDA encourages the submission of only those proposals
or applications, as appropriate, which will significantly
benefit regions with distressed economies. Distress may exist
in a
variety of forms, including high levels of unemployment,
low income levels, large concentrations of low-income families,
significant declines in per capita income, large numbers
(or
high rates) of business failures, sudden major layoffs or
plant closures, trade impacts, military base closures, natural
or
other major disasters,
depletion of natural resources, reduced tax bases, or substantial
loss of population because of the lack of employment opportunities.
EDA believes that regional economic development to alleviate
these conditions is effected primarily through investments
and decisions made by the private sector. EDA will give preference
to proposals or
applications (as appropriate) that include cash contributions
(over in-kind contributions) as the matching share.
