- Abstract
- In the summer of 1994, Greensboro was one of eight North Carolina cities that applied for the federal Enterprise Community (EC) grant program, a major economic and community development initiative of the Clinton Administration. The EC program offered cities nearly S3 million in Social Service Block Grant funds. These funds, unlike entitlement programs, applied to a broad range of activities and came with few strings attached. The only stipulation was that the funds be used to help reduce poverty in "'distressed" neighborhoods. Charlotte was the only North Carolina city that was awarded an Enterprise Community grant among the approximately 100 recipient cities nationwide. Although Greensboro did not win a grant, it found the application process to be a rewarding experience in a number of ways.
