A Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy – or CEDS – is a tool to organize and coordinate a region’s economic development goals for the next five years. Built with the direct input from leaders and community members, the CEDS is a living document that increases a region’s access to funding resources, including those through the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
