NARC sent letters of support to applicable House and Senate Committee members and leaders urging the reauthorization of the Economic Development Administration before its September 30, 2008 expiration. EDA reauthorization is essential, particularly in these difficult economic times, to providing cost-effective programs, efficient investment of federal resources, creation and retention of jobs, generation of important tax revenues in distressed communities, and tools to achieve regional and global competitiveness. NARC encourages members and local elected officials to reach out to these Committee members and leaders, as well as their own Congressional delegation. For a draft letter with generic language supporting EDA reauthorization, please contact Shannon Menard.
