The Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) awarded Connected DMV $1,429,671 under the Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) program on September 29, 2021. The EAA program supports regions experiencing adverse economic changes.

Under this Project Grant, Connected DMV will develop the DMV Regional Equity and Growth Playbook. The Playbook will align the Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia region on an integrated plan identifying desired outcomes for addressing infrastructure, economic growth, and social equity needs. The Playbook will consist of strategies, methods, and toolkits to deliver these outcomes and enable the region to operate at its full potential, filling divisions between marginalized communities and other populations in accessing economic opportunities. Upon completion, the Playbook is intended to provide a unified framework for the region to promote inclusive and sustainable economic development.
