This Economic Development Administration (EDA) Project Grant award of $1,639,350 supports the City of Las Vegas in planning for the redevelopment of Jackson Avenue as part of ongoing efforts to catalyze community-led investment in the city's historic Westside. The project will assist local entrepreneurs in redeveloping the area while providing land development training to small- and minority-owned businesses. This initiative aims to address years of systematic redlining and the local need for equitable business development opportunities. The funding will enable the recruitment of new industries into the area, which will advance economic resiliency throughout the Clark County region. The project aligns with the EDA's Economic Adjustment Assistance (CFDA 11.307) program, which provides technical, planning, and infrastructure assistance to regions experiencing adverse economic changes.
