Summary

The Secretary may allow an awarded grant (including section 3145 supplements, or grants made under the chapter as it stood before the Economic Development Administration Reform Act of 1998) to be used for a project if the project’s purpose or scope changes after the grant but before the project ends and funds are available (not for grants with funds obligated in fiscal year 1995). The Secretary must find the changed project meets the subchapter’s rules, fits the comprehensive economic development strategy sent with the application, and that the changes are needed to improve economic development in the area.
