There are 140 federal economic development programs run by 13 agencies, worth about $60 billion a year. GAO checked 29 of them against four run by the agency whose whole job this is: all 29 overlapped, and 20 overlapped on everything.
GAO identified 140 federal economic development programs administered by 13 agencies; the 131 that reported obligations put them at about $60 billion in fiscal 2024. To measure overlap it compared four Economic Development Administration programs against 29 programs run elsewhere, on three dimensions — activities, beneficiaries, purpose. Every one of the 29 overlapped on at least one dimension, and 20 overlapped on all three. EDA is the only federal agency focused solely on economic development and is required to coordinate with the others; GAO reports that collaboration has stalled in recent years.
