Economic Development Administration: Legislative History
This paper was produced as a part of the EDA and ARC Expenditures Analysis Project. Excerpt: The Economic Development Administration (EDA) has been the subject of much debate and legislation; perspectives on, and goals and objectives for, this agency are legion as well. Here, we provide a chronology of EDA s inception and continuation, beginning in the 1930s and 1940s when national economic development objectives were formed and escalated. We then move from the history of the agency's creation to a discussion of its present position within policy legislation. |
