ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Economic Development Authority (EDA) As you have likely noticed, flowerpots have been placed along Main Street and in front of City Hall. The EDA purchased these seasonal flowerpots to ÐspruceÑ up downtown and add beauty and warmth to the area. The EDA has also revised their Downtown Grant and Revolving Loan Façade Enhancement program guidelines to provide a higher match (up to $10,000) to businesses and/or nonprofits who apply for eligible activities.
