Section III

Description

Through this Supplemental Appropriations Disaster Relief Opportunity, EDA intends to award investments in regions experiencing severe economic distress as a result of the flooding, storms or tornadoes in the Midwest and other recent natural disasters. Pursuant to this announcement, EDA solicits applications for Economic Adjustment Assistance investments under the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as amended (“PWEDA”). Through the Economic Adjustment Assistance program (CFDA No. 11.307), selected applicants will utilize EDA’s flexible set of program tools to develop and implement on a regional basis long-term economic redevelopment strategies for the recently disaster-impacted regions in the United States. The Economic Adjustment Assistance program can provide a wide range of technical, planning and infrastructure assistance. This program is designed to respond adaptively to pressing economic recovery issues and is well suited to help address the challenges faced by the regions affected by the Midwest storms and floods and other recent natural disasters. Assistance can support development of a strategy to alleviate economic dislocation caused by the disaster (that is, a strategy grant) or support project implementation (an implementation grant), such as infrastructure improvements.
