11.302 : Economic Development_Support for Planning Organizations  
Federal Agency: Department of Commerce
Range Assistance:
The average award in FY 2010 was $61,000.

Website: http://www.eda.gov
Headquarters:
David Ives 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Room 71030, Washington, District of Columbia 20230 Email: dives@eda.gov Phone: 202-482-0529
 Website Address (153):
Objectives:
Through the Planning program, EDA provides assistance to eligible recipients to create regional economic development plans in order to stimulate and guide the economic development efforts of a community 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 leverage the unique assets of their respective regions to help create and retain higher-skill, higher-wage jobs, particularly for the unemployed and underemployed in the Nation’s most economically distressed regions.
 
 To facilitate CEDS, EDA provides Partnership Planning grants to the designated planning organization (e.g., District Organization) serving EDA-designated Economic Development Districts (EDDs) throughout the Nation. These planning organizations are typically recognized by the State in which they reside as multi-jurisdictional councils of governments, regional commissions, or planning and development centers. Partnership Planning grants enable planning organizations to manage and coordinate the development and implementation of CEDS. In addition, EDA provides Partnership Planning grants to Indian Tribes to help organize and assist with the implementation of economic development activities within their areas. The majority of funding under the Planning program is for Partnership Planning grants for Indian Tribes and EDA-designated EDDs.
 
 The Planning program also helps support planning organizations and other eligible recipients, including District Organizations and Indian Tribes, with Short-Term and State Planning efforts in order to stimulate and guide the creation and/or retention of higher-skill, higher-wage jobs, particularly for the unemployed and underemployed in the Nation’s most economically distressed regions. For example, EDA might provide Short-Term Planning funding to a coalition of Tribal and regional organizations to plan a coordinated response to the sudden loss of a major employer in the affected area(s).
Uses and Restrictions:
EDA Planning investments support the preparation of CEDS that guide EDA’s Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance implementation investments, including Revolving Loan Funds. Sound local planning also attracts other Federal, state, and local funds plus private sector investments to implement long term development strategies. In this way, EDA’s Planning program plays a foundational role in helping communities develop important strategies that inform future economic development decisions.
 
 Comprehensive, market-based, local and regional planning is an essential component of successful economic development. Effective planning creates a road map for community growth and development with a focused approach towards creating higher-skill, higher-wage jobs. The Planning Program provides a foundation for EDA’s infrastructure investments, which are designed to stimulate economic growth in distressed regions. The planning process supports an assessment of the region’s economic conditions and the development of a CEDS to guide resource allocation and project development. The key value of this process is that it is locally determined and involves participation from all the diverse interests in the community. Planning activities supported by these Investments must be part of a continuous process involving the active participation of Private Sector Representatives, public officials and private citizens, and include:
 (a) Analyzing local economies;
 (b) Defining economic development goals;
 (c) Determining Project opportunities; and
 (d) Formulating and implementing an economic development program that includes systematic efforts to reduce unemployment and increase incomes. All EDA grants are discretionary grants. EDA does not award any formula grants.

Thirty percent of funds available for distribution under each annual appropriation for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is allocated among the States and Puerto Rico (which is considered to be a state for the State CDBG program) for use in areas which are not a metropolitan city or part of an urban county (nonentitlement areas). All States except Hawaii have elected to administer these CDBG funds for areas that do not receive CDBG entitlement grants (14.218). HUD awards the formula grants to these States under the CDBG/State Program. In Hawaii, HUD awards the state's share of these funds to the three non-entitlement counties by formula. States must distribute CDBG funds to units of general local government (counties, towns, etc.) in nonentitlement areas. States develop their own programs and funding priorities. Units of general local government then carry out community development activities funded by the State. Eligible activities are directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic development, or provision of improved community facilities and services. Specific activities that can be carried out with block grant funds include: Acquisition, rehabilitation or construction of certain public works facilities and improvements, such as streets, water and sewer facilities, neighborhood centers, recreation facilities, and other public works; demolition and clearance; rehabilitation of public and private buildings including housing; code enforcement; relocation payments and assistance; economic development; planning activities; certain public services with some restrictions; and administrative expenses. The projected use of funds must be developed to ensure that all activities will meet one of the three national objectives described under "OBJECTIVES". Communities receiving CDBG funds from a state may select subgrantees to carry out approved projects. Such subgrantees may include: Neighborhood-based nonprofit organizations; local development corporations; Small Business Investment Companies; or other nonprofit organizations serving the development needs of nonentitlement areas. Grant recipients may provide assistance to for-profit entities when the recipient determines that the provision of such assistance is appropriate to carry out an economic development project. Communities are restricted from constructing or rehabilitating public facilities for the general conduct of government and from making housing allowances or other income maintenance-type payments. Each State may use a limited portion of its grant, subject to a matching requirement, to administer the program. Each State may also use a limited portion of its grant, with no matching requirement, to provide technical assistance to local governments and nonprofit program recipients. At least seventy percent of the funds received must benefit low and moderate income persons.

11.303 : Economic Development Technical Assistance
Federal Agency: Department of Commerce
Range Assistance:
It varies. See applicable FFO.

Headquarters:
Philip Saputo 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW, Room 71030, Washington, District of Columbia 20230 Email: psaputo@eda.gov Phone: (202) 400-0662
Objectives:
EDA oversees three technical assistance programs (National, Local and University Center) that promote economic development and alleviate unemployment, underemployment, and out-migration in distressed regions. These programs provide grants or cooperative agreements to: (1) invest in institutions of higher education to establish and operate University Centers to support initiatives that are focused on advancing: regional commercialization efforts; entrepreneurship; and a high-skilled regional workforce. provide technical assistance to public and private sector organizations with the goal of enhancing local economic development; (2) support innovative approaches to stimulate economic development in distressed regions; (3) disseminate information and studies of economic development issues of national significance; and (4) finance feasibility studies and other projects leading to local economic development. These programs aid the long-range economic development of regions with severe unemployment and low per capita income.
Uses and Restrictions:
Technical assistance is used to provide information, data, resources and toolkits which practitioners and policymakers can utilize when evaluating, shaping and implementing specific projects and programs to promote economic development efforts in their respective economically distressed regions. EDA announces opportunities to compete for funding to support University Centers through its annual Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) on University Centers, and the intent to support local technical assistance through its annual FFO on planning and local technical assistance. EDA may identify specific training, research or technical assistance projects it will fund under National Technical Assistance, which will be subject to competition. Ordinarily, these projects are specified in a FFO, which will provide the specific requirements, timelines and the appropriate points of contact and addresses. The EDA-supported University Center (UC) sub-program is specifically designed to marshal the resources located within colleges and universities to support job creation and economic growth in regions experiencing economic distress. UCs, which EDA considers long-term partners in economic development, are required to devote the majority of their funding to respond to technical assistance requests originating from organizations located in the economically distressed portions of their service regions. EDA-sponsored University Centers provide strategic technical assistance to regional partners; including, tribal entities, local governments, and public and private sector organizations; conduct economic impact assessments; support cluster development and conduct cluster studies; facilitate regional collaboration; support commercialization and technology transfer efforts; and undertake other activities with the goal of enhancing regional economic development by promoting a favorable business environment to attract private capital investment and higher-skill, higher-wage jobs.. EDA University Center competitions are held once every five years in each EDA Region. The project must be consistent with the CEDS of the region in which it is located, if applicable. At least eighty (80) percent of EDA funding under a University Center Economic Development award must be allocated to direct costs of program delivery; unrecovered indirect costs are not chargeable to the award without EDA’s express approval. All EDA grants are competitive: EDA does not award formula grants. The Local Technical Assistance (Local TA) sub-program, one of EDA’s smallest programs in terms of funding, is an extremely flexible and useful economic development tool. The most common purpose of a Local TA project has been to analyze the feasibility of a potential economic development project, such as an industrial park or a high-technology business incubator, or to support other critical studies necessary for economic development professionals to make informed business decisions, including economic impact assessments. The National Technical Assistance sub-program is designed to provide economic development professionals with access to tools and resources on cutting edge economic development concepts that can inform their decision-making and help support good decision making which will lead to strong, vibrant economic development and regional prosperity. Through this program, EDA provides a wide array of resources, including a cluster mapping tool (http://clustermapping.us), a website to identify innovation index of self-selected communities and compare against other geographies (www.statsamerica.org/innovation/), and a resource to help support best practices among venture development organizations (VDOs) (http://regionalinnovation.org/). The project must be consistent with the CEDS of the region in which it is located, if applicable. All EDA grants are discretionary. EDA does not award formula grants.

Objectives:
The objective of the Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training Program is to recruit, train, and place unemployed and under-employed, including low-income, residents of solid and hazardous waste-impacted communities with the skills needed to obtain full-time, sustainable employment in solid and hazardous waste cleanup, wastewater treatment, chemical safety, and the environmental field at large. Furthermore, this program promotes the facilitation of activities related to assessment, cleanup, or preparation of contaminated sites, including brownfields and Superfund sites, for reuse, while simultaneously building a local workforce with the skills needed to perform remediation work that are supportive of environmental protection and environmental health and safety. Funding Priority - Fiscal Year 2014: In FY14, under the Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training Grant Application Guidelines, applicants were provided the opportunity to deliver training outside the traditional scope of brownfields hazardous waste training. As a result of this, applicants were now provided the opportuity to deliver additional training in areas such as: solid waste management and recycling; emergency management and oil spill cleanup; Superfund cleanup related training, including innovative and alternative treatment technologies; wastewater treatment and stormwater management; and, chemical safety and enhanced environmental health and safety training. Training in leaking underground storage tanks prevention and cleanup, affiliated with LUST Trust funds, were not eligible uses of grant funds in FY14 as this statutory authority was not used in the FY14 competition. Other types of supplemental environmental training are also eligible as this list is not exhaustive. Under the FY14 competition, energy auditing, solar installation, and weatherization were eligible. Applicants in FY14 were also evaluated heavily on the extent to which they had partnered with employers willing to hire graduates and the extent to which they had conducted labor market assessments that linked proposed training with these employers' forecasted hiring needs.
Uses and Restrictions:
Funds awarded under Section 104(k)(6) of CERCLA must be used for training, research, and technical assistance to individuals and organizations, to facilitate the inventory of brownfields properties, site assessments, cleanup of brownfields properties, community involvement, or site preparation.

For Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training grants however, individuals are not eligible to apply. (See eligibility requirements in Section 080) Grants and cooperative agreements are available to eligible entities throughout the United States. Eligible applicants are allowed to design their own curricula. In FY14, applicants were provided flexibility to include the following types of training in their curriculum: solid waste management or cleanup (i.e. recycling center operator training, landfill remediation and capping, demolition and debris collection and recycling, etc.); wastewater and stormwater related training; chemical safey or enhanced environmental health and safety training; and, innovative and alternative treatment technologies related training (i.e. preparation of contaminated sites for solar installation, green remediation techniques, phytoremediation, soil amendments, advanced sampling instrument operator training, or bioswale system site preparation, etc.) Note: this list is not exhaustive and other types of eligible training may be offered consistent with the statutory authorities. All applicants were required to include OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 40-hour Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) in their curricula. Assistance agreement awards under this program may involve or relate to geospatial information. Further information regarding geospatial information may be obtained by viewing the following website: http://geodata.epa.gov. Grants and cooperative agreements are available to support recipients' eligible and allowable direct costs incurred under an approved work plan plus allowable programmatic costs, in accordance with established EPA policies and regulations. Costs incurred under CERCLA 104(k)(6) grant or cooperative agreements may not be used for an administrative cost, penalty or fine, a Federal cost-share requirement, a response cost for which the recipient of the grant or cooperative agreement is potentially liable under CERCLA 107, or the cost of complying with a Federal law, with the exception of the costs of laws applicable to cleanup of sites. Grant recipients and sub-recipients are encouraged to adopt and enforce policies that ban text messaging while driving company-owned or -rented vehicles or government-owned vehicles, or while driving privately-owned vehicles when on official government business or when performing any work for or on behalf of the government.
