CEDS (Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies)

Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS) are plans developed by regions or communities to guide economic growth and development. They involve assessing local strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities to create a roadmap for enhancing economic prosperity. CEDS typically includes input from various stakeholders, such as businesses, governments, and residents, to address issues like job creation, infrastructure, and community development. The aim is to foster a collaborative approach that aligns resources and strategies to meet local needs, ensuring sustainable growth and improving the quality of life for residents.
