EDA-Economic Development

Gregg Williams-Program Manager

The Economic Development program in District IV offers assistance to cities, towns, municipalities, and villages with planning and economic development. The Eastern Plains Council of Governments assists communities with CDBG (Community Development Block Grants), post CDBG award assistance, capital outlay requests / award assistance, and  ICIP (Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan) planning. We also help facilitate workshops and seminars which includes grant writing, export/importing and  continuous up-dating of CEDS ( Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy). We support our communities by attending  city and county commission meetings and water authority and local growth management meetings. For information contact Gregg Williams at  575-762-7714.
