Eastern Carolina Council of Governments (ECC) is seeking three AmeriCorps VISTA members to address unmet needs in communities we serve, including 9 counties and 62 incorporated municipalities.

ECC’s office is in the heart of downtown New Bern, NC. Settled in 1710, New Bern is North Carolina’s second-oldest colonial town and is filled with historic southern charm. Centrally located along North Carolina’s coast at the union of the Trent and Neuse Rivers, this scenic riverfront city offers a lively downtown, entertainment, arts, shopping, and dining. Situated less than an hour from the state’s Crystal Coast beaches and the Croatan National Forest, New Bern and the surrounding area also provides plenty of recreation opportunities.

ECC is seeking three VISTA members to build the capacity of each focus area within the planning department: economic development, transportation planning, and community development/disaster recovery. Our Economic Development VISTA will help to find, secure, and prepare reports for grants that enhance economic stability in the region and assist with the implementation of ECC’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). The Transportation Planning VISTA will conduct data and GIS analyses to support primarily non-highway transportation projects that provide better access and connectivity to goods and services and increase the likelihood of projects being funded. Lastly, our Disaster Recovery VISTA will aid in the implementation of our EDA-Disaster Recovery Planning Grant by working directly with Hurricane Florence-impacted communities to find creative solutions and mitigate future impacts.
