The U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) awarded a $321,836 project grant under the Economic Adjustment Assistance (CFDA 11.307) program to the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council. The grant funds the hiring of a disaster recovery coordinator to support long-term economic recovery and resiliency activities in six Florida counties impacted by natural disasters. Specifically, the coordinator will work with small to mid-sized growers and small, minority-owned businesses to access funding to sustain operations and develop recovery and resilience plans. The project aims to create jobs, mitigate future disaster impacts, and strengthen the regional economy through December 2023.
