The CEDS Committee is responsible for developing and revising the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). This committee is comprised of individuals that represent a broad range of constituencies in the region. These stakeholders include public officials, state and federal representatives, institutions of higher education, workforce development, healthcare, local business owners, non-profits and regional leaders.
The CEDS Committee reviews projects and activities in the region that pertain to economic development and job creation. It meets bi-monthly to review and prioritize economic development projects and update the CEDS. Committee meetings also provide a forum for pending projects to present material to the Committee for their consideration.
