The Comprehensive Economic Development
Strategy (CEDS) is a regional economic development plan compiled
annually by
the Community
Development Director and submitted to the Economic Development
Administration (EDA). The CEDS is prepared to help fulfill
WCI’s
commitment to maintain Economic Development District (EDD)
designation. This designation allows WCI to attract Federal
EDA dollars into
the nine county region.
The CEDS incorporates demographic data
and analysis pertaining to WCI's region as well as economic
development projects seeking
EDA funding. Projects identifying the EDA as a potential funding
source are prioritized according to job creation, project readiness,
population growth rate, unemployment rate, per capita income
and diversification. Federal and state funding agencies often
use the CEDS to assist them in their project funding decisions.
