The assignment of a VISTA member to the Central Texas Economic Development District (EDD) will be to assist with the accomplishment of important economic development initiatives that compliment Economic Development Administration (EDA) investment priorities. There is a flexible start date from June-August 2022 and telework may be permitted. Our projects will focus on the 7-county Central Texas Council of Governments (CTCOG) planning region. The VISTA member will be engaged to help EDD staff accomplish the following objectives to enhance the Central Texas region, including harder-to-reach communities, social, and environmental issues as they pertain to economic development. We hope to equip our communities with a broader range of tools and information to engage in economic development activities and long-range economic development planning. This project is sponsored by the Austin Regional Office (AURO) of the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) and will be directly supervised by the Central Texas Council of Governments EDD in Belton, Texas. The overall EDA Mission is "to lead the federal economic development agenda by promoting innovation and competitiveness preparing American regions for growth and success in the worldwide economy."
