Plain-English explanation

EDA’s Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance NOFO supports community- and regionally generated economic-development activities, from planning and technical assistance to infrastructure, using bottom-up strategies built on regional assets to advance growth and resiliency. Eligible recipients include specified public entities, EDA district organizations, Tribes, higher-education institutions, and qualifying nonprofits; individuals and for-profit entities are excluded.

Because the supplied record has no deadline and omits detailed rules, applicants should verify the updated NOFO, cost-share terms, eligible activities, and submission instructions before proceeding.

Editorial analysis

What the funder is trying to accomplish

EDA intends to support community- or regionally generated economic-development ideas responsive to local needs and circumstances. The program description emphasizes bottom-up strategies that build on regional assets to spur economic growth and resiliency, including new or creative approaches to economic prosperity in distressed communities.

Editorial analysis

Strong-fit project signals

The applicant is an EDA-designated Economic Development District organization, Indian Tribe or Tribal consortium, eligible state or local governmental entity, institution of higher education, or qualifying nonprofit acting in cooperation with political-subdivision officials. The proposed work is community- or regionally generated and builds on regional assets to support economic growth or resiliency. The project concerns economic-development needs and falls within the overview’s described continuum, which includes planning, technical assistance, and infrastructure construction, under Public Works or Economic Adjustment Assistance. The applicant can meet the required cost share and is considering a request within the listed $100,000 award floor and $30,000,000 ceiling.

Editorial analysis

What reviewers may prioritize

The supplied evidence contains no formal review criteria, weights, or selection factors. It is reasonable to infer that applicants should make a clear case for consistency with the stated program themes: community or regional needs, regional assets, economic growth, resiliency, and a bottom-up strategy. These are program-alignment signals, not verified scoring criteria.

This opportunity has been updated as of May 11, 2026

Program Overview:

EDA has authority to provide grants to meet the full range of communities’ and regions’ economic development needs from planning and technical assistance to construction of infrastructure. 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 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, which can be found on EDA's website here: Investment Priorities | U.S. Economic Development Administration
