Grants support manufacturers

The U.S. Commerce Department is providing $13 million in U.S. Economic Development Administration grants to support 11 Trade Adjustment Assistance Centers (TAACs) that help manufacturers affected by imports adjust to increasing global competition and to create jobs. The TAACs, each of which service multiple states, are located in California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington. The centers support a wide range of technical, planning and business recovery projects that help companies adapt to international competition.
