The US Economic Development Administration awarded the Merrimack Valley Planning Commission a grant worth $75,000 to help fund a project in Essex County.

The grant was awarded on Dec. 4. The EDA describes the grant as follows:

"This EDA investment supports the development of a comprehensive online data clearinghouse for the Merrimack Valley region. This data application will assist the region with ongoing recovery efforts resulting from gas explosions that devastated the communities of Andover, Lawrence and North Andover, which include designated Opportunity Zone neighborhoods. Once completed, the project will attract new businesses to the area, spur job creation and build resiliency against any future disasters."
