EDA: Economic Development VISTA - Texarkana
 
 
 
Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis. Please feel free to reach out directly to the program contact listed. This project will focus on the nine-county areas of the Ark-Tex Council of Governments (ATCOG) through the Northeast Texas Economic Development District (NETEDD). NETEDD partners with the U.S. Economic Development Administration to provide region-wide strategic economic development planning. The VISTA will have the opportunity to focus on identified areas within the ATCOG region to build economic development capacity at a more in-depth level. The VISTA will work with their communities to identify economic development needs and resources to meet those needs in an effort to attract higher-paying jobs and other opportunities. The overall goal is to build capacity in rural, economically distressed communities to alleviate poverty, reduce unemployment, and provide a better quality of life. This project is sponsored by the Austin Regional Office (AURO) of the Economic Development Administration (EDA), and will be directly supervised by the NETEDD in Texarkana. 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."
