How EDA Works
Integration into your local community’s CEDS
EDA Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS): The CEDS process is designed to bring together the public and private sectors in the creation of an economic roadmap to diversify and strengthen regional economies.
The CEDS should analyze the regional economy and serve as a guide for establishing regional goals and objectives, developing and implementing a regional plan of action, and identifying investment priorities and funding sources.
EDA’s Funding Opportunities
Economic Development Assistance Programs (EDAP): EDA awards grants that assist state and local governments, and not for profit community-based organizations create jobs, leverage private capital, and strengthen America’s ability to compete in the global marketplace.
Community Engagement, Outreach and Integration

EDA Serves as the Federal Lead for National Disaster Recovery and Promoting Resilient Regional Economies
EDA's role in disaster recovery is to facilitate delivery of federal economic development assistance to local governments for long-term community economic recovery planning, reconstruction, redevelopment and resiliency.
Following a disaster, EDA responds by first coordinating with sister bureaus and other agencies engaged in disaster recovery efforts to share information and data on the ramifications of the disaster.
EDA also reaches out to its economic development practitioner network (particularly its network of Economic Development Districts (EDD) District Organizations) to collect on-the-ground information on the economic impacts of the disaster event.
EDA serves as the Coordinating Agency on behalf of the Department of Commerce for the Economic Recovery Support Function (RSF) in the National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF).

Project Example: Berkeley County, SC
 The investment will:
Construct sewer infrastructure to support the Volvo phase 1 plant site in Berkeley County, South Carolina.
The plant will be incorporated into a larger industrial park encompassing a total of approximately 6,700 acres.
Approximately 700 of those acres will be occupied by the Volvo plant.
The project is estimated by the grantee to create at least 2,000 new jobs and generate $500,000,000 in private investment.
Economic impact analysis estimated that more than 8,000 total jobs would be created as a result. Operating with 2,000 employees, the plant would contribute approximately $4.8 billion in total economic output on an annual basis.
