ACOG houses the Central Oklahoma Economic Development District (EDD). ACOG staff members are available to provide technical assistance on grant applications to the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA). Over the past several weeks, ACOG has met with several of our member entities to discuss various economic development projects and explore applying for EDA grants.
