The Office of Community and Economic Development (OCED) provides core economic development programs that are designed to serve as a catalyst in spurring new private sector investment and job creation in communities struggling to secure the benefits of the new economy. OCED programs support sustainable economic development strategies that leverage investments from other public and private sources in order to ensure the long-term viability of local business community. OCED views economic development as a means to an end, working to achieve demonstrable results through the strategic investment of federal economic development resources. OCED promotes economic development with the goal of creating and retaining jobs for low- to moderate-income persons.
