The project will connect EDA grantees and other manufacturing stakeholders across the country through a manufacturing-focused Community of Practice. Over four years, this initiative will facilitate peer learning and sharing of economic development best practices to support manufacturing ecosystems. It will also create a technical assistance resource center and provide specialized regional support to manufacturing communities.
