Economic Development Administration Program
GLITC’s EDA program assists tribes in planning and implementing economic development strategies derived from their own comprehensive development planning. EDA’s main goals are to encourage the tribes to engage in comprehensive economic development planning and to identify community priorities through that process . GLITC’s EDA program is also charged with developing and updating the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (“CEDS”) for GLITC’s member tribes. For those tribes that have their own CEDS, the program can be an advocate and offer assistance in the development of public facility projects. EDA is widely known for assisting in public works projects that are needed for specified business development. EDA provides funds for public works projects that aid or enhance private economic development.
