Economic Development grants are available to local governments to support economic development and opportunities for economic growth, particularly through projects which will create new jobs, retain existing employment opportunities, stimulate private investment, and revitalize the growth and diversification of local economies.
Emphasis is upon expanding employment opportunities for low and moderate income persons.
Maximum grant awards may vary depending on need and impact. For more information on the Economic Development Program, refer to the CDBG Application Guidelines and the CDBG Program Description .
