The Economic Development Administration (EDA) awarded a $1,200,000 Project Grant to The Enterprise Center - doing business as the West Philadelphia Enterprise Center - under the EDA's Economic Adjustment Assistance (CFDA 11.307) program. This grant supports The Enterprise Center in launching the Infrastructure Innovations and Business Opportunities Center in Newark, New Jersey. The center will connect socially and economically disadvantaged contractors and businesses to large-scale infrastructure projects in the region. Once completed, the project will help the region capitalize on new workforce development opportunities, attract private investment, and lead to the creation of jobs and businesses.
The Enterprise Center Community Development Corporation, The Enterprise Center's parent organization, has also received past federal grant awards to support local economic growth, small business development, entrepreneurship initiatives, and community improvement projects in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These awards have come from agencies such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
