As the Commission awaits the next three-year District Planning Grant contract with the Economic Development Administration, the staff would like to reiterate the services the EDA contract allows the Commission to provide.
- Support local planning efforts in communities with limited financial resources;
- Support planning efforts that include one or more units of local government or planning agencies working together;
- Provide technical assistance to regional governments that request it for the development of local planning ordinances and regulations;
- Encourage local governments to engage in planning, regulatory, and development approaches that promote and encourage comprehensive planning;
- Prepare and distribute reports, and other technical publications that promote and encourage comprehensive planning; and
- Research and report upon the results and impact of activities funded by the technical assistance grant.
As the Commission provides the services above as a part of our scope of work, EDA asks the Economic Development District to a review our performance of the last three years. The following summarizes those accomplishments;
