The U.S. Economic Development Administration offered the following description of this project:
"This EDA planning investment supports the update and implementation of a comprehensive economic development strategy (CEDS) for the region served by the North Olympic Peninsula Resource Conservation and Development Council, which comprises the counties of Clallam and Jefferson. The CEDS process is designed to bring together the public and private sectors in the creation of an economic development roadmap to diversify and strengthen the regional economy."
According to the Internal Revenue Service, opportunity zones were added to the tax code under The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The bill has come under some criticism for creating another big tax break for the ultra-wealthy.
The EDA is a federal government agency that focuses exclusively on economic development.The agency solicits applications for funding in order to support construction, non-construction planning, technical assistance, and revolving loan fund projects under the agency's Public Works and the Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) programs. Grants made under these programs are designed to advance economic development in distressed communities.
