The Centralina Economic Development District (EDD) serves as the regionâs U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) liaison and point of contact. Our staff can assist communities with fund administration, strategy development, applying for competitive EDA grants and certifying that EDA-funded projects align with the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). We have a track record of success with grant application and awards in a highly competitive environment and our experts are ready to help you with every stage of the grant process. For assistance with non-EDA grants, please contact our Government Affairs & Member Engagement team at info@centralina.org.

Grant Strategy & Support
We support eligible applicants in developing a strategy for seeking EDA funding from its annual public work and economic adjustment grant competition or other discretionary grant programs. We also provide letters of support and documentation of project alignment with CEDS goals.
