$61,000 received for economic development

Federal funding goes toward regional projects

The Region 9 Economic Development District has been awarded $61,000 in planning and technical assistance funds through the U.S. Economic Development Administration.

Region 9 has received the funding annually for several years to plan economic-development initiatives and to partner with community groups, governments and businesses to work on special projects and provide technical support.

“This EDA funding has been key to allowing staff to work with the Four Corners Film Office and county-level economic-development groups,” Laura Lewis Marchino, assistant director of Region 9, said in a news release.

Marchino added, “EDA provides us with funding that allows us to be flexible supporting projects that are of economic benefit to a community.”

For more information, contact Region 9 at 247-9621 or at www.scan.org.
