U.S. Department of Commerce and the Economic Development Administration <br />The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) and its Economic Development Administration offer <br />other resources that can be leveraged with state and local economic development efforts to <br />complement this project in specific communities. The investment policy of the DOC's EDA is <br />designed to establish a foundation for sustainable job growth and the building of durable regional <br />economies throughout the U.S. This foundation builds upon two key economic drivers - innovation, <br />and regional collaboration. The following DOC programs support these principles locally: <br />• Public Works <br />• Economic Adjustment <br />• Community Trade Adjustment Assistance <br />• Partnership Planning <br />• Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms <br />• Global Climate Change Mitigation Incentive Fund <br />• University Centers <br />• Research and National Technical Assistance <br />• Local Technical Assistance <br />The NEG assistance provided by this project will support and augment these layers of federal, <br />state, and local economic development resources in localities experiencing mass job losses. Such <br />support will increase the business attraction and retention capabilities of targeted communities and <br />promote stabilizing effects for local economies and workers that may otherwise continue on a <br />negative economic trajectory. <br />!A <br />
