The International Economic Development Council (IEDC) have launched the first cohort of Economic Recovery Corps (ERC) fellow and host communities, through a $30 million cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA). Fellows will spearhead catalytic projects that advance new ways of doing economic development to build more resilient, inclusive, and equitable economies. GSI was selected, in partnership with the Coeur d'Alene Economic Development Council, to host a fellow focused on establishing Certified Creative Districts in the Mountain Northwest.
