Economic Development Now

The Economic Recovery Corps page is now live on IEDC’s website.

IEDC and partners will receive $30 million from EDA over four-and-a-half years to create the Economic Recovery Corps—65 fellows who will be embedded in distressed regions throughout the United States to help lead efforts to increase the capacity of regional economic development ecosystems and provide guidance to support local economic developers. The ERC program will help communities accelerate their economic recovery, develop and deliver effective regional strategies to promote resilience and competitiveness, and create sustainable and equitable opportunities for all.

Prospective fellows and host organizations should fill out the Economic Recovery Corps Interest Form to receive further details about the program and information about the application process.
