NEOEDD often assists cities and counties with Community Development Block Grants and Economic Development Administration Grants:

Community Development Block Grants

Local governments often ask NEOEDD to assist them with Community Development Block Grants. These grants are available to low and moderate income communities for certain types of community facilities and infrastructure. NEOEDD can help you apply for the grant and can also administer the grant for you once the project is underway. A portion of the grant funds can be used to pay for NEOEDD's help with the project.

Economic Development Administration Grants

NEOEDD can also assist you with grants from the federal Economic Development Administration or EDA. EDA funds infrastructure and planning projects (master plans, engineering studies, etc.) in economically distressed areas. NEOEDD helps identify and develop projects for EDA funding. We can help you make sure the project is ready to apply for funding and put together the grant application. Once a project receives EDA funds, NEOEDD will act as liaison between you and EDA to help resolve any questions or issues that may arise. If you think you might have a project that could qualify for EDA funding, give us a call.
