What the document actually says“The Economic Development Administration’s grant programs, which are among a broad set of duplicative and overlapping federal economic development grant programs, should be consolidated with other programs and/or eliminated;”
These grants overlap with others. Join them together or end them.
One office gives grants to help local economies. Other agencies do the same thing. The book says that is a duplication.
