In partnership with the Florida Regional Planning Councils (RPCs), Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO), the International Economic Development Council (IEDC), and federal partners, EDA is hosting “Economic Resiliency and Recovery from Hurricane Irma” workshops in February 2018. The purpose of the workshops is to help foster greater agriculture, business, and community resiliency by connecting community leaders with information and the state and federal resources that are available to help. The workshops will also help community leaders learn more about what their role should be and how to prioritize actions for short and long-term recovery. Federal, state and IEDC officials will present information about state, federal and private sector resources that are available to assist. The interactive workshops will provide participants with practical tools and inspiring examples to support critical economic recovery and long-term resiliency activities.
