U.S. Economic Development Administration, singular United States federal government agency focused exclusively on economic development
The U.S. Economic Development Administration is a federal agency in Washington, D.C. that focuses on promoting economic growth in communities across the country. It distributes grants and provides guidance to help regions create jobs and develop new businesses.
The agency was established in the late 1960s when the federal government began focusing more on economic development after a period of economic transition. Since its creation, it has become a key component of the nation's efforts to support growth in communities facing economic challenges.
It is best to contact ahead if you want to arrange a visit or tour of the office. The surrounding Washington, D.C., neighborhood offers many other attractions and government buildings within walking distance.
The agency works with a wide network of partners including state and local governments, nonprofits, and private businesses to create economic opportunities. This collaborative approach means that projects developed here often bring together resources and expertise from multiple sectors that would not normally coordinate.
