U.S. Economic Development Association
The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA,) serves as the only federal government agency focused exclusively on economic development. They play a critical role in facilitating regional economic development in communities throughout the nation. Their mission is to establish a foundation for sustainable job growth and the building of durable regional economies throughout the United States.
With the support from EDA in the Kerr-Tar Region, the Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Government developed a five year Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS.) The Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Governments is in the process of implementing action items included in the CEDS.
