Welcome to the Friday Update from GREATER MSP's Federal Funding Hub. A special shout out to our new subscribers this week!
The purpose of this message is to share information so that our region can make the most of the opportunities under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
Upcoming Opportunities
Eligible applicants for EDA competitive grants are invited to sign up for “Office Hours with our U.S. EDA Representative.” EDA informed GREATER MSP that they are not receiving as many grant applications from applicants in the MSP region as the rest of the state. To help eligible applicants connect with EDA, GREATER MSP is coordinating short 1:1 sessions with EDA for potential applicants to ask questions and receive feedback. All potential applicants with eligible projects are invited to participate!
