Kool Kids Art Camp is one of a number of programs funded but the EC.

Projects and Studies

The EC board has initiated a number of projects and studies. These projects have been designed to assess the needs of the community, recruit new business, increase tourism, and extend the life of the Enterprise Community.

Federal Grants

The EC has helped to bring $151 million in additional funding to our community through non-EC federal funds. Grant seeking organizations can gain valuable points on requests for Federal Funds, or access special earmarked funds, if they can show that their plans fit into the plan of an Enterprise Community or Empowerment Zone.
