The U.S. Economic Development Administration Friday announced it is accepting applications for $30 million in Community Assistance Grants for communities in coal mining areas.

The funds will be awarded on a competitive basis to assist communities severely impacted by the declining use of coal through activities and programs that support economic diversification, job creation, capital investment, workforce development and re-employment opportunities.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis.  Funds not obligated by October 1 may not be available for awarding.

The EDA will hold a webinar on June 27 from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. on how to apply for  Community Assistance Grants.  Click Here to register.
