About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) is issuing a Federal Grant Opportunity for the EDA Austin FY 2016-FY 2019 Planning Program and Local Technical Assistance Program. The Planning program provides grant funding to eligible recipients such as regional planning organizations, Indian Tribes, and local governments to create economic development plans and strategies, including Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS). The Local Technical Assistance program strengthens the capacity of local and state organizations to undertake effective economic development initiatives through feasibility studies and impact analyses. Applications will be evaluated on alignment with EDA priorities, job creation potential, feasibility, implementation capability, and stakeholder support. There are no application deadlines, as proposals are accepted on an ongoing basis until the opportunity is superseded.
Planning grants typically range from $40,000 to $200,000, with an average of $70,000, and fund 320-470 projects annually. Local Technical Assistance grants average $64,000, ranging from $50,000 to $300,000, and support 30-50 projects per year. The federal cost share can be up to 80% depending on the level of economic distress in the target region. Projects can be nationwide, with a focus on economically distressed communities.

Update #2 · Latest ·
Pursuant to PWEDA, EDA announces general policies and application procedures for grant-based investments under the Planning and Local Technical Assistance programs. Under the Planning program EDA assists eligible recipients in creating regional economic development plans designed to build capacity and guide the economic prosperity and resiliency of an area or region. As part of this program, EDA supports Partnership Planning investments to facilitate the development, implementation, revision, or replacement of Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS), which articulate and prioritize the strategic economic goals of recipients' respective regions. In general, EDA provides Partnership Planning grants to the designated planning organization (e.g., District Organization) serving EDA designated Economic Development Districts to enable these organizations to develop and implement relevant CEDS. In addition, EDA provides Partnership Planning grants to Indian Tribes to help develop and implement CEDS and associated economic development activities. The Planning program also helps support organizations, including District Organizations, Indian Tribes, and other eligible recipients, with Short Term and State Planning investments designed to guide the eventual creation and retention of high-quality jobs, particularly for the unemployed and underemployed in the Nation's most economically distressed regions. The Local Technical Assistance program strengthens the capacity of local or State organizations, institutions of higher education, and other eligible recipients to undertake and promote effective economic development programs through projects such as feasibility analyses and impact studies.
