The Economic Development and Sustainability (EDS) Department, formally known as Village Economic Investment (VEI), was created by NANA to broaden its focus on programs, initiatives and opportunities to assist NANA in carrying out its mission to improve the quality of life for shareholders, including addressing high cost of living issues. EDS will facilitate funding for in-region communities to offset the high cost of living by addressing the lack of energy security and the burdensome cost of fuel, along with other priorities such as broadband and community infrastructure.
