Economic Empowerment Through Predevelopment Act of 2023

This bill creates a new federal grant program to support community organizations before they begin development projects. It authorizes grants for activities like community asset mapping, feasibility studies, technical training, and organizational capacity building - specifically targeting groups with limited resources. The program applies to eligible recipients under the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, with provisions to waive certain requirements for low-capacity organizations. These grants aim to help communities prepare for economic development initiatives through foundational planning and support.
