Supporting Other Federal Manufacturing Initiatives
IMCP Manufacturing USA
Department of Commerce (DoC) “Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership” (IMCP) Program

What it is: The IMCP designation is intended to help communities that have demonstrated best practices within a specific manufacturing sector to further cultivate an environment to create well-paying manufacturing jobs and industry growth through targeted public and private investments across a community’s industrial ecosystem. Benefit IMCP Participating Agencies have agreed to provide preferential consideration, and/or consideration in the determination of application merit, and/or grant supplemental awards (totaling approximately $1.3 billion) for Manufacturing Communities for the following economic development programs:
Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) Delta Regional Authority (DRA) Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Department of Transportation (DOT) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Administration (SBA) U.S. Department of Agriculture U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST)
