Mohawk Valley Economic Development District, Inc. (MVEDD) is a non-profit corporate entity registered in SAM.gov since 2011, serving as the designated planning organization for a six-county region in New York, including Fulton, Herkimer, Montgomery, Oneida, Otsego, and Schoharie Counties. The organization focuses on economic development planning, strategic regional economic growth, and community enhancement initiatives. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, MVEDD provides specialized economic development services primarily through federal grant awards, with a core mission of creating comprehensive economic development strategies that engage both public and private sector stakeholders to strengthen and diversify regional economic opportunities.

MVEDD has secured multiple federal grant awards from agencies such as the Economic Development Administration (EDA), EPA Region 2, and Rural Business Cooperative Services, demonstrating a multifaceted approach to regional economic development. The organization's grant portfolio includes a $350,000 EDA planning grant to develop a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for the Mohawk Valley region, focusing on creating and retaining higher-skill jobs in economically distressed areas. Another significant award is an EPA Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund cooperative agreement that will enable MVEDD to capitalize a fund for cleaning up brownfield sites across its six-county region, with plans to issue approximately four loans and three subgrants to remediate seven brownfield sites. Additionally, MVEDD has received Rural Business Cooperative Rural Enterprise Grants, which suggest a commitment to supporting rural business development and economic resilience. These grants collectively indicate MVEDD's strategic role in regional economic planning, environmental remediation, and business support across rural New York communities.
