What is a CEDS?

The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is a locally-based, regionally-driven economic development planning process and document that creates the space for your region to identify its strengths and weaknesses and brings together a diverse set of partners to generate good jobs, diversify the economy, and spur economic growth.  This process should engage a range of partners, including Economic Development Districts (EDDs), community leaders and residents, tribes, the private sector, educational institutions, and other stakeholders in planning for your region’s future.
