The grant will fund the Council's efforts to deliver strategic planning, technical assistance, and project development services to support economic progress and resilience for its member counties and cities over the 2-year award period from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025. Key activities will include conducting planning studies, identifying economic and infrastructure development opportunities, administering development programs, creating actionable regional growth plans, and coordinating stakeholder engagement. The Council has previously delivered similar services through ARC grants as well as other federal programs such as the Economic Development Administration and FEMA.
