The U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) awarded a $936,061 Project Grant to the University of Tennessee's Institute for Public Service to develop a manufacturing growth model that will improve labor force participation in Knoxville, Tennessee. This 3-year project will focus on distressed, disaster impacted, and coal impacted communities, helping manufacturers create workplaces that can better attract and retain talent. Once completed, the model is expected to serve as a catalyst for regional economic growth, increasing job creation, private investment, and strengthening the overall economy. This grant is funded through the EDA's Economic Adjustment Assistance (CFDA 11.307) program, which provides technical, planning, and public works assistance to regions experiencing adverse economic changes.
