CEDS Central
As defined by the EDA, “A CEDS is a strategy-driven plan for regional economic development. A CEDS is the result of a regionally-owned planning process designed to build capacity and guide the economic prosperity and resiliency of an area or region.” These plans are prerequisites for an Economic Development District (EDD) designation and are updated every five years. CEDS must include a summary background, a regional analysis, a Strategic Direction/Action Plan, and an Evaluation Framework."
