Community Economic Development

Community Economic Development (CED) is a strategy focused on improving the economic well-being and quality of life for a local community. It involves planning and actions that promote job creation, support local businesses, and attract investment, all tailored to the community’s specific needs and strengths. CED aims to foster sustainable growth that benefits residents, reduces inequalities, and enhances services and infrastructure. By engaging community members and leveraging local resources, CED helps build resilient economies that reflect the community’s goals and values.
