Allentown Works is a $20 million program funded by a 2024-2029 grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) through its 2024 Distressed Area Recompete Pilot Program. The City of Allentown was one of six communities selected across the country to implement a comprehensive workforce and economic development strategy. In close partnership with the AEDC and a broad coalition of local and regional stakeholders, Allentown Works will close the City of Allentown’s prime-age employment gap and advance economic growth in the city.
