Under the FY 2012 FFO, EDA solicits applications from rural and urban communities to develop initiatives that advance new ideas and creative approaches to address rapidly evolving economic conditions.Please see the FY 2012 FFO, to which a link is provided below, for more information on EDA’s programs and the agency’s new process.
