  2. Aligning Planning Efforts • Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) • HUD and the Economic Development Administration (EDA) are working together to describe how grantees can better coordinate their local planning efforts so that planning documents prepared for one agency can also be submitted to the other agency. • MOU executed in October 2016 • Inter-agency work group established • Currently in early planning stages • All outcomes will be voluntary. Not new requirements.
