The Economic Development Administration (EDA) was allocated $1.5 billion for economic recovery under the CARES Act and anticipates releasing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) in late April/early May of this year. The GCEDD is proactively seeking applicants for this funding. Based on past EDA disaster recovery NOFOs, the GCEDD anticipates that the EDA will seek to fund the following projects (based on their potential to create jobs and leverage investment).
- Water supply/wastewater infrastructure
- Road, railroad, port, or bridge
- Drainage or economic resilience
- Facility (e.g. warehouse, office)
- Workforce development program
