A CEDS is a regional tool with actions for supporting and expanding regional businesses, creating more jobs, and increasing our economic resiliency to prevent and recover from economic, environmental or other changes.
CEDS are supported by funds from the United States Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration.
Regional CEDS include comprehensive, robust updates every five years, as well as shorter, less intensive, annual updates. Both updates require community, tribal and regional input.
