These grants are made through a series of Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs) that can be found
on EDA’s website at https://www.eda.gov/funding/funding-opportunities and are designed to support the
economic development activities most useful to a community based on its needs and circumstances.
EDA funds community or regionally generated ideas and assists communities to advance to the next
level of economic development.
This NOFO, which supersedes the FY20 PWEAA NOFO, sets out EDA’s application submission and
review procedures for two of EDA’s core economic development programs authorized under the Public
Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as amended (42 U.S.C. § 3121 et seq.) (PWEDA): (1)
Public Works and Economic Development Facilities (Public Works) and (2) Economic Adjustment
Assistance (EAA).
EDA supports bottom-up strategies that build on regional assets to spur economic growth and resiliency.
EDA encourages its grantees throughout the country to develop initiatives that present new ideas and
creative approaches to advance economic prosperity in distressed communities.
Through this NOFO EDA intends to advance general economic development in accordance with EDA’s
investment priorities, but also to pursue projects that, where practicable, incorporate specific priorities
related to equity, workforce development, and climate change resiliency so that investments can benefit
everyone for decades to come.
