The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has evolved into an unprecedented nationally declared emergency. In response to this pandemic, the Northwest Arkansas Economic Development District is diligently monitoring federal & state funding opportunities that may arise for our cities, counties, and individuals. As those opportunities materialize we will be in contact with elected officials to clarify what entities are eligible and for what purposes grant funds may be used. In the meantime, we will strive to provide our members and residents with information on how to navigate through this crisis by providing as many resources as possible to help respond to the challenges of the Coronavirus.
