In today’s competitive global market, it is necessary for regions to have a long-term economic development strategy that can serve as a road map to progress and prosperity. The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) does just that. It is a locally-based, regionally-driven economic development planning process and document that successfully engages a range of partners, including community leaders and residents, Economic Development Districts (EDDs), tribes, the private sector, educational institutions, and other stakeholders in planning for your region’s future.
CEDS Central serves as the Resource and Training Archive for materials developed by the NADO Research Foundation (NADO RF) as part of its Stronger CEDS, Stronger Regions program, funded by the U.S. Economic Development Administration. The free materials archived here include reports, case studies, videos, webinars, and presentation materials on planning, developing, and implementing the CEDS. New staff working on the CEDS for the very first time as well as more seasoned veterans of the process should find these resources useful and relevant to their work.
Take a look around, explore, and share these materials within your organization and with key partners. We wish you long-lasting success on your CEDS journey!
