Economic Adjustment Assistance Investments may be used to develop a CEDS to alleviate long-term economic deterioration or a sudden and severe economic dislocation (a “Strategy Grant”), or to fund a Project implementing such a CEDS (an “Implementation Grant”).

Strategy Grants support developing, updating or refining a CEDS.

Implementation Grants support the execution of activities identified in a CEDS. Specific activities may be funded as separate Investments or as multiple elements of a single Investment. Examples of Implementation Grant activities include:

Infrastructure (as defined in § 301.11 of this chapter) improvements, such as site acquisition, site preparation, construction, rehabilitation and equipping of facilities;

Provision of business or infrastructure financing through the capitalization of Recipient-administered Revolving Loan Funds (“RLFs”), which may include loans and interest rate buy-downs to facilitate business lending activities;

Market or industry research and analysis;

Technical assistance, including organizational development such as business networking, restructuring or improving the delivery of business services, or feasibility studies;

Public services;

Training; and

Other activities justified by the CEDS that satisfy applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
