Region 10 is a designated Economic Development District and thus is responsible for creating and implementing a regional economic development plan.
This plan is called a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) and is the region’s playbook for engaging in a collaborative, region-wide transformation of the economy in order to raise productivity, create wealth, and increase prosperity for residents. A CEDS is the result of a “regionally-owned” planning process designed to guide the economic prosperity and resiliency of a region.
It provides a coordinating mechanism for individuals, organizations, local governments, and private industry to engage in a meaningful conversation and debate about the economic direction of our region.
In 2019, Region 10 updated and revised its CEDS. A draft copy was submitted to the U.S. Department of Commerce – Economic Development Administration in June 2019 for approval. This document will guide our region’s economic development work for the next five years.
