These programs support efforts to improve job opportunities, tax bases, individual or community wealth, and quality of life measures;contribute to economic growth; create reinforcing industrial clusters; and reduce economic inequality. In contrast to centrally-planned approaches, most federal programs in the United States are designed to strengthen the national economy by supporting the plans and strategies established by state and local stakeholders.
